In depth
Verdict
Shelini offers the best racecourse form of those on show and the consistency of her performances gives her a slight TEAMtalk preference in this tricky race to understand. Her best effort came last time out at Windsor on soft ground and this slight drop in trip could well suit this daughter of Robellino. Sir Sidney is well regarded by connections and two promising efforts in hot Newmarket maidens give him an excellent chance on ground likely to suit. He should go well at a decent price for an unfashionable stable. Morson Boy will have his fans and there was much to like about his maiden run over course and distance last time out. Two more to consider on racecourse evidence are Sail With The Tide and Melograno. The latter has importantly showed form on a soft surface.
