Verdict
David Loder's Rosehearty is likely to start at prohibitiove odds for this juevnile contest, but it would be unwise to oppose her; newcomer Waterline Blue may be the most likely to chase her home. The Rahy filly was a little green on her debut, but still showed enough ability to finish second behind Our Gamble at Sandown and, with improvement virtually guaranteed, will prove extremely hard to peg back here. Of her five rivals, the two with public form have little to offer, so one of the three newcomers may be the best bet for the forecast. David Evans is having a decent season so far, and his speedily bred Waterline Blue is just preferred to Richard Whittaker's Neon Blue, who may just need a little more time.
