    Verdict

    Note Perfect can call the tune at the expense of Bellas Chicas and Piccolo Pete. Closely related to crack sprinter, Strong Hand, Note Perfect has been busy over the last few months and the trailblazer can make this count in what is a modest contest. Bellas Chicas has been tried over the minimum trip and she put up her best run to date when switched to the turf at Redcar. A strong pace will play to her strengths. Piccolo Pete isn't as fast as his father but he wont be allowed to go off at 100/1 as he did at Newcastle. Hold That Call has done nothing since leaving Richard Hannon. Nestor Protector isn't any great shakes but it is impossible to suggest him to be as bad as his first run of the season suggests. Bonny's Babe wasn't getting home over seven furlongs so her new trainer tries six. Not a strong contest and Note Perfect looks to have been pitched in at his appropriate grade.
