Saucy, Pearl Farm and Mademoiselle look the three to focus on here and the vote is given to Pearl Farm. The selection was a little disappointing last time but we marked her down as one to stay on the right side of on her previous run when she chased home Cativo Catallino here. She failed to build on that last time but she remains lightly-raced and with this step-up in trip in her favour she looks the one to be on. Saucy has won over this trip but the reality is that she is better over further and on that basis we will pass her over today, although she should be good enough to claim some prize money. Mademoiselle's trainer Ron Harris reported that the mare had become crowded 3f out as an excuse for her below-par effort last time out, so she is another worth factoring in and she had previously run really well when chasing home Don't Mind Me at Southwell. Casablanca Minx is a course and distance winner and she could prove best of the remainder, but Pearl Farm remains unexposed and can improve enough to land this event.
