Verdict

Fair Sailing could be the best option here ahead of Hope Island and Distant Drama. The John Hills trained filly has shown plenty of ability in two races to date and could now be spot on for this. Her last run was over course and distance so this track holds no fears and she should go close in what looks a modest event. The ex-Irish trained Hope Island is pretty well exposed but ran well on the artificial surface at Dundalk last time out and should figure in the finish today. Distant Drama is from a top yard and is another to have shown plenty of promise and should be vying for a place. The pick of the others could be Princes Danehill, but Fair Sailing is moving in the right direction and she gets our vote.
