Verdict
Quaroma is taken to follow up from his Yarmouth win to score again at the expense of Overwing and Badweia. The selection is now six pounds higher in the weights since her latest win and looks to be coming to herself with a fine effort in defeat on her penultimate outing. If she is able to recapture that same level of form she will take all the beating. Overwing carries a penalty for winning at Folkestone last week and has never won off a mark as high as this in the past so a personal best effort will be required. While Badweia is unexposed with only four runs under her belt but was beaten off a pound higher mark at Newmarket recently so it remains to be seen how good she really is. So for the winner we return to Quaroma.
