Verdict

In a wide open contest Redwood Star is chosen to give weight and a beating to Dance To The Blues and Cosmic Destiny. The selection has been in top form all season, landing three victories and being place on numerous occasions. She ran another solid race at Bath last time when a close up third behind Extremely Rare and is handicapped to very close again this afternoon. Dance To The Blues has a bit to find on the book with today's rival Parksiide Pursuit on running at Brighton, however she appeared to improve next time when chasing home the rejuvenated Holbeck Ghyll and should figure in the finish. Cosmic Destiny hit winning form last time when beating Wise Wager over course and distance, another bold showing can be expected. Edged In Gold may prove best of the bottom-weights, but Redwood Star is one of the more consistent runners in the line-up and gets our tentative vote.
