In depth
Verdict
Win A Rose, Parkinson and Alderbrook Girl are three against the field in a wide open affair and the tentative vote is given to Parkinson. The selection won a shade cozily last time out when beating Shirazi and although risining in the weights he is still well in over hurdles compared to his chasing mark and under conditions he looks the one to be on. Win A Rose rates the main danger on his latest third behind Pearly Star, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here he will not be far away. Alderbrook Girl won well last time when beating Coeur d'Alene but this looks more competitive and she may struggle under her penalty. Baileys Best is game and consistent and is sure to run his race and could improve for the fitting of first time cheekpecies. Of the remainder Little Rort looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Parkinson who still looks ahead of the handicaper.
