In depth
Verdict
This is a furiously competitive heat but Effervesce is in the form of her life at present and she may again find the race develops to play to her strengths in the closing stages. However, she does have the worst of the draw to overcome and can only be forwarded as a saver selection if the prices permit. The step back up to six furlongs should bring her extra stamina into play and she can hold off the likes of Juwwi, Branston Tiger and Full Spate in a tight finish. Bollin Edward is an interesting one to note and should be watched for next time.
