Verdict
Commandingpresence hasn't won for a year and, though well handicapped, she's been badly out of form. JUST ISLA has had 17 starts, all over 7f and a mile. This is also her first venture into plating company and she's just 1lb higher than her last victory a year ago so this can prove within her capabilities - she gets the vote despite a big weight. Intense Feeling completed a double in May but hasn't gone on from there while the veteran Stonecrabstomorrow, with 13 victories and 24 places to his credit, hasn't scored for two years. The lightly-raced Bookmaker has blinkers for the first time but shown nothing while Swiss Lait has just one fair effort in six starts behind her.
