Verdict
Yet another race where the market will be the best guide to the expectations held by a few of the respective connections, but Musical Capers ran as well as could be expected on her debut and is selected in preference to Moscow Executive and Simply Mystic out of those with previous experience. Rude Health and Forest Sprite are others that can play a part and have eye-catching jockey bookings. Nevertheless, the market is sure to give the best indication as to what is expected today. Moscow Executive had a hard race on her debut and failed to do herself justice last time. However, the fact that she is back in action so quickly suggests that her connections think there is more to come from her and she is a definite for the shortlist for a place in the frame. Simply Mystic has run with promise in each of her three starts to date and should also make a fist of things. However, Musical Capers has race fitness on her side and, as she shaped as if in need of the run on her debut, she can put it to good use today.
