Verdict
MASTER OF HEAVEN won a handicap here in March and is 1lb lower despite finishing in a place in three subsequent visits. He looks the one to be on though Never Folding, who has dropped to a winnable mark as she showed in her latest start on this track, should be getting off the mark soon. Mcdelta, three times a winner on Turf, hasn't won in a dozen all-weather starts while Dawn Goddess has been placed just once in her 10 career races. Sheer Intensity was in good form in March but a strike-rate of 1-27 isn't a recommendation.
