It should prove profitable to follow the filly-in-form here in BABY QUEEN, who is selected to get the better of Hi Shinko and Amosite. The selection is chasing a hat-trick tonight, having scored at both Nottingham and Bath in the past month. The most recent of those victories saw her heavily eased and a 6lb rise does not look enough to prevent her completing a treble. Hi Shinko has risen 3lbs for a resolute Folkestone win earlier in the month, but he is inconsistent and can't be trusted to build on that tonight. Amosite performed well in defeat over course and distance, having scored at Nottingham in April, but she is higher still in the weights and this does not look easy. Deckchair will do well to back up a Wolverhampton selling success but is at least in some sort of form, while Imaginary Diva is proving tricky to win with. Baby Queen gets the vote.
