Verdict
We finish with a competitive handicap where we make marginal preference for course winner SALEROSA with Ugenius also considered now possibly well weighted and on-form Ishiadancer also on the shortlist. The selection has had two attempts racing at this venue and won them both. She's racing consistently well off this mark and similar this season and it's a rating that is just a pound above her last winning one. Ugenius also goes well at this circuit but his three pound mark rise for a neck success last time might just stop him winning this time. Ishiadancer has had just two starts this season, winning a maiden on his reappearance and then finishing second best off three pounds lighter in handicap company. The form from that latest test looks good and he acts on soft so should go on this. Defector and Doric Echo can also be added to calculations after recent good runs but it might just be the course form of Salerosa that sees her home.
