GOOD FRIDAY APPEAL TROPHY
Results
VERANSKOVA (4) started last campaign with a booming close to just miss here over 1000m and went on with that in three runs that followed - all over the straight course. Clearly well suited to racing here and her effort to run the smart Asfoora to less than a length on Derby Day leaps off the page. SCORCHED EARTH (2) wasn't quite at her best in two winter runs and now returns from a 224-day break. Jump out said she was back in good order and she has peaked and won down the straight fresh. SNAPPED (9) has been freshened and comes back to 1100m. Think that suits and she is a threat along with SERADESS (1) who didn't come up last time but has a nice chance based on her form around this time last year
