      Verdict

      n the finale, Rosa De Mi Corazon is selected ahead of Jord and Sheriff's Silk. Unbeaten in two races - with one of those victories having come over today's course and distance - and hailing from the Sir Mark Prescott stable, Rosa De Mi Corazon very much catches the eye under a winner's penalty and, accordingly, is taken to score. A course and distance selling winner in first-time blinkers last time, Sheriff's Silk could be good for some money today, while Jord has been running pretty consistently, including over course and distance, and a good run from him is far from ruled out. Of the others, Hephaestus has not built on his October Lingfield win and Fealeview Lady has it to prove on the back of maiden form. So, with Cherri Fosfate having been beaten from her revised rating - although that does not rule her out of being placed - we return to the selection, which is Rosa De Mi Corazon.
