Verdict
QUEEN OF KALAHARI bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins raised a further 5lb. But she won with something to spare on her latest start and has already beaten the likes of Jill Rose and Tease Maid. Jazz Legend missed out on his attempt at a course treble when failing to figure here back in May and Blackcurrent is preferred having returned from a year off the track with a recent second over the minimum trip. Poeta Brasileiro returned a losing favourite once again at Chelmsford last time and previous winner Aquarius disappointed at the same track.
