      Verdict

      Given the surface MY SWEET GEORGIA gets the vote here ahead of Gone Hunting and Madison Belle. The selection acts well on the Fibresand and has twice won over course and distance in a handicap and also a claimer similar to this. She ran a good race when runner up to Madison Belle over a furlong further last time but the key to her chance is the return to 6f and she is taken to win. Madison Belle also won here last month and has won three of her last four races. She is more versatile with regard to trip and she is unlikely to be very far away. Gone Hunting would have stronger claims if this were being run at Lingfield or Wolverhampton and we can probably assume that he has not been tried here before because he wants it quicker. That is not to say that he won't take to it today, but he has it to prove. La Capriosa is another previous course and distance scorer and she does not have lots to find at these weights, so she is not dismissed, and the same comments apply to Princess Cagliari, though she seems to prefer being bridesmaid. My Sweet Georgia gets the nod.
