Persian Sea is nicely drawn for her style of racing and this first try at six furlongs may see her return to winning ways however a safer bet may be MANGO MUSIC ahead of Indian Diva and Vital Statistics. Some useful fillies here, and stakes may be best kept to a minimum. The selection is a course and distance winner and Mick Quinn's mare comes here on the back of two solid efforts, most lately behind Angus Newz at Leicester who has franked the form since. She is adaptable with regards to the ground and with the stable in good form she should run well. Goodbye needs to bounce back from two woeful runs, whilst Indian Diva was also poor when last seen but it is too early to write her off, especially if the money comes. Misphire is a course and distance winner, whilst Cristal Clear is hit and miss. Dubai Power has been keeping fair company along with Vital Statistics, but whilst the former looks to be better on the all-weather, the latter, who won a Listed race as a two-year-old is now back to a tempting handicap mark. A tough contest where several can be considered. however it is Mango Music who receives our vote.
