Verdict

Western Pearl has got a fair bit going for her but preference is for LA CONCORDE. The Sadler's Wells-filly is kept to maiden company and now takes on her own sex for the first time, which may make things easier. This trip and a sound surface suit her and she may well have enough ability to claim her first success. Western Pearl is related to winners over as short as 1m2f, though her profile and style of racing suggests that she may thrive when stepped up to a greater test. Strictly Lambada is likely to be better suited by 1m4f and today's first try might see her go close, though La Concorde is preferred.
