Verdict
Another tight handicap that poses a few problems pin-pointing the winner. Freya Alex is respected on her efforts this season and should thereabouts if she handles the ground. Life Is Beautiful is dropping like a stone in the ratings and can be given another chance at the weights; but Cyclonic Storm is going the right way and is open to further improvement. Hollybush is another to consider on her first outing away from Ayr and she may provide some value for each way punters if she takes to the track.
