Verdict

Blues Jazz bids for a four-timer having won an apprentice race over 6f here on Saturday. He escapes a penalty today, but on the downside, he's yet to prove as good over this trip in a couple of previous starts and BENNY THE BEAR looks a safer option. He ran out a clear winner over C&D at the same meeting on Saturday and 6lb extra may not be enough to prevent Linda Perratt's charge from following-up. Monsieur Pontaven had Broughtons Silk behind when third here last time and that form gives him the beating of Big Slick, but this is tougher than the Hamilton seller Tahitian Princess won last month.
