In depth

Verdict

An open fillies' handicap in which we will side with Crystal Gazer ahead of Lawyers Choice and Carcinetto. The selection has been given a break since a disappointing run at Kempton over this trip having previously won over six furlongs at that track. Her form has a mixed look to it however on the pick of her runs she must have a good chance and whilst this mark looks stiff enough for the time being, a big run should be in the offing. Carcinetto has winning course form and should be watched in the market for her shrewd stable with the drop in class only taken as a bonus, whilst Shustraya, Secret Night and Tagula Sunrise all need to bounce back to form having performed moderately of late. Lawyer's Choice rates a danger on her Kempton win back in September and having held her form well since, she needs respect, however it is Crystal Gazer who receives the vote.
