    Verdict

    Jim Goldie saddles the two at opposite ends of the handicap. Water Of Leith is struggling for form but Rock Melody beat Sugar Baby over course and distance back in June, though Peter Niven’s gelding is weighted to reverse that form and is also a previous winner here. PRINCESS KARINE (NAP) won her maiden over track and trip as a two-year-old. She found only one too good in a Class 3 handicap here last time and can get her head back in front. Khabib is preferred to Ramon Di Loria of the remainder.
