    Verdict

    Fresh Mint gets the confident vote here with Sun of The Sea and Kindlelight Blue rating the main dangers. The selection has been in the form of her life of late and beat Berry Hill Lass with plenty in hand last time out. Granted she is rising in the weights but she still looks ahead of the handicapper and is taken to win again. Sun of The Sea rates the main danger as he beat Just Intersky last time out but he is not proven over the trip and looks opposable on that basis. Kindlelight Blue is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Art Man, form that has since been franked and he will not be far away. Cold Turkey looks weighted up to his best while Quince may need the run after an 100 day absence and for the winner we return to Fresh Mint who again has plenty of ticks in the right boxes.
