    Verdict

    This is an interesting race in that the three main runners - Hurricane Spirit, Fluttering Rose and Teasing - have collateral form. Our selection is Fluttering Rose. Okay. Fluttering Rose beat subsequent winner Shustraya a short head over five furlongs at today's venue last time out. Before that, she was beaten a length and a quarter by Hurricane Spirit when receiving five pounds. She receives 16 pounds today. And on November 28th, Teasing was beaten just over a length by Hurricane Spirit over course and distance when in receipt of two pounds. Today she receives 11 pounds. From a strictly handicapping point of view, Teasing and Fluttering Rose are closely matched with Hurricane Spirit not too far behind them. Make of that what you will. Maybe Fluttering Rose can come out best today and, accordingly, she is the selection.
