Verdict

Munaawashat, Perle d'Or and Sharp Needle are three against the field in a competitive handicap and the vote is given to Sharp Needle. The selection hails from a yard in good form and this progressive filly won well when defeating Blaeberry at Redcar last time. She won with a little in hand that day and she could be capable of landing the spoils with conditions to suit. Munaawashat won well last time when beating Sea Nymph, but she is a quirky filly and in this slightly better race we are happy to take her on. Perle d'Or is chasing a four-timer and she has a decent turn of foot so she has to be respected, but this is her stiffest task to date and she will need to improve again to score. Miss Madame hails from a shrewd yard and is another with place claims, but for the winner we return to Sharp Needle.
