Apple's Jade
1.25 Leopardstown
SP forecast 11-10

Quality mare who has returned better than ever this season, winning all three starts by wide margins with the last two coming in Grade 1s.

Conclusion Can confirm her versatility with another win, although I doubt it will be easy if Melon is on form.
