Any rain would no doubt help QUIRKY GERTIE on handicap debut but the manner of her breakthrough win suggests she is a filly on the rise at this level. Better is expected of Rosamour down in class and in easier conditions while Poet's Magic has to be respected following her narrow defeat over this C&D.
