Verdict
This is easily the best race on the card and it sees Considered Opinion attempt to extend her winning record on the track to four. Contrive disappointed on her only previous try on this surface but she’s won her last three on Polytrack and was second on Turf in between, PRIDE’S GOLD (NAP) lost her unbeaten record on the course when last seen in a conditions race last month but she wasn’t beaten far and remains in fine form - Simon Crisford’s filly can bounce back this evening. This Girl was giving weight to the first two when third in a novice stakes here last time and remains unexposed so makes more appeal than recent winner Ruby Gates and Happy Escape.
