It's hard to be sure at this stage what HA HA HA's optimum trip will turn out to be, but she shouldn't be overly inconvenienced by this drop to a mile having again shaped well when finishing fourth of 16 upped to 9.4f at Gowran last month. The Dark Angel filly gets the nod. Red Azalea is not short of ability, but she's proving a tad frustrating and a bigger threat may be posed by likely improver Baroness Blixen.
