Blaeberry gets the narrow vote in a tricky finale with Magical Legend, Maclean and Lady Maranzi rated as the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Trompette last time out and with ground conditions again to suit she may be able to go one better today. Magical Legend hails from a small yard but she looks progressive and she will not be far away at the finish if she runs up to her best. Maclean would definitely have claims on the pick of his form but he has been a little disappointing of late and for that reason we will pass him over. Lady Maranzi beat Shalati Prince last time and if he goes well in the first race today then that will give the form a boost. A tough race for punters to call Blaeberry looks to hold solid claims.
