        Verdict

        Lady Songbird, Crossbow Creek and Del Mar Sunset look the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Lady Songbird. The selection was a beaten favourite last time but she did not have the race run to suit and she came from a long way off the pace to finish a close second behind Oddsmaker. She is a lightly-raced filly and she looks worth staying on the right side of. Crossbow Creek in comparison is pretty exposed and although he won well last time out, he does have a penalty for that success and that might just find him out. Del Mar Sunset was a little disappointing in a handicap at Sandown last time won by Greek Well, but he had previously won well at Newmarket and a reproduction of that effort should give him solid place claims. Pentatonic is an unexposed filly who was only narrowly beaten last time, so she is another that has to be considered. But we are sweet on the chance of Lady Songbird who can get back to winning ways.
