A competitive event for a fillies' handicap and RUSSIAN RAVE can emerge on top, while Charlotte Point may be the one to chase her home. The selection caught the eye when going away from her field to win a similar contest here over 7f last month. This will be tougher from a 6lbs higher mark but her chance is there for all to see and this trip should hold no fears. Charlotte Point has won three of her last five and chased just one home on the other two occasions. This trip is ideal and she has acted well in defeat here, but it is just her current mark that may tip the scales against her. Kind Heart was an easy winner over this trip on the Fibresand when last seen in November and has been allotted a mark of 80 for this, her handicap debut. The yard is in form and she should go well. Miss Eze is hard to assess, now switching to the Polytrack after only having run with cut in the ground so far, and improvement would be no surprise. Mosqueras Romance did well here in a maiden in March and does not have a frightening mark for this handicap introduction, but preference is for Russian Rave.
