DROMANTINE shaped as though getting the hang of things when mid-field in a C&D maiden last time and, with the promise of better to come now pitched into a nursery, she could be the answer. Having posted her best effort yet when fifth in a 1m nursery here a fortnight ago, Alfarida is feared back at 7f and a case can also be made for Magnanimous Mehmus, who wasn't beaten far over 6f here last time and he should benefit from this step up in trip.
