SARASOTA SUNSHINE should take all the beating here; Faithful One should once more go well and rates a threat along with Penzena. Jeremy Noseda's charge has progressed nicely since joining the yard, taking second to Man Of Action (runs 13:45) before gaining quick-fire compensation at Newbury last time. She's up 7lbs but wasn't extended to score and seems to have improved for the fitting of a visor; while in this form it's hard to take her on. Faithful One has only twice been out of the places since making her debut last September and plenty of her efforts, including second placed finishes to Marie De Medici and Pipette, make very good reading. She took third off this mark three weeks ago and the drop back to a stiff seven will suit. Penzena is another to consider having acquitted herself well in a German Listed race last time. She's now 5lbs higher than when second on her return at Leicester but may well have improved since, although perhaps a return to a mile would suit. Perfect Friend is only 2lbs better off with Sarasota Sunshine having been readily brushed aside by her last time and also has plenty to find with Penzena, Iasia appears high enough in the weights although she won on debut so the 234-day break shouldn't be a problem, while Sakhee's Pearl clearly started life in handicaps off a mark too high and may need to slide further before scoring. Picking the forecast isn't easy, but Sarasota Sunshine should be good enough to take home first prize.
