PEARL BLUE was well beaten at Doncaster last time but this is a big drop in class and she'll take the beating if running anywhere near her handicap mark. Foxy Music is next best at the weights but the course winner finished well behind Abi Scarlet in a seller here back in June. The latter looks to have stronger claims on today's terms than Showtime Star, who had Moiety back in seventh when landing a claimer over course and distance recently.
