Verdict
Ellen Mooney, Estimation and Rock Concert look the ones to concentrate on in this fillies' handicap and we will take a chance on the last named. The five-year-old is game and consistent and won a seller in good style last time out. Admittedly this is more competitive but now she has got her head in front Rock Concert is taken to score again. Estimation rates the main danger on her third behind Dance In The Sun a couple of runs ago but has since disappointed. The top weight Ellen Mooney is also worthy of respect now she returns to this surface having run below par on turf on her last two starts. The remaining runners in the field have shown very little so we are happy to side with the in form Rock Concert.
