Verdict

Beauty's Forte had shown nothing for a long time which is why he went off a 33/1 chance when successful here last month. It didn't look a fluke but whether he can repeat the process is another matter. MOPS ANGEL, who won here in January from a higher mark, was having her first start since June when running well here earlier this month and, with that under her belt, can gain her second victory on the track. Zed Candy Girl has won three times around here and isn't overburdened while Believe It showed his first sign of ability on just his third start when staying on well in a 6f maiden last month so he's definitely on the short-list.
