A tough race with many chances and Open Mind gets the vote to minor stakes although Miss Judgement and Breezit all hold formbook claims. Open Mind is a daughter of Mind Games so speed is pretty much guaranteed. Eric Alston's team are in better form at the moment and in a race that shouldn't take a lot of winning, his charge has as good a chance as any. Miss Judgement stayed on strongly from an unfavourable draw at Lingfield and looks to be just about coming to herself. She reopposes Yamato Pink. Breezit is owned by a well known professional gambler and is dropped in trip having started this campaign over a mile. Wendy's Girl is well in with regard to her old form but the handicapper has had plenty of chances to look at her. A comment that similarly applies to Zonnebeke. Open Mind secures the narrowest of verdicts.
