Brilliantrio is not the most reliable customer but he gets the nod here over Bells Boy's and Neutral Night. It is hard to believe but the selection is racing over this trip for the first time having shown plenty of early pace over seven and eight furlongs here. In fact when second to Rosti in a similar race in January she was leading at this distance before finally going down by two lengths. She is a temperamental character but if she puts it in today a long overdue victory may come her way. Neutral Night must be a big danger having finished ahead of the selection over the seven furlong trip here earlier this month. Bells Boy's also has to be considered, after a couple of poor efforts he finished a gallant fourth behind Above Board here last week. Baytown Flyer is entered at Lingfield on Monday and he is another to consider if he takes his chance. So a difficult race to evaluate but a chance is taken with Brilliantrio.
