Verdict

STEEL FREE caught the eye on her seasonal reappearance and gets the vote to land this fillies event ahead of Evening Sunset and Perfect Class. The selection finished a decent third at Kempton last time out and looks a filly on the up grade. She is sure to benefit for her latest outing and with further improvement to come she is sure to go close. Evening Sunset has more experience than most and runs off a mark that she is more than capable of being competitive off. She is tough and will give her supporters another good run for their money. Perfect Class is fit from a winters campaign on the all weather. She ran well to finish third at Wolverhampton on her latest start and any market moves should be noted. Steel Free has the best form on offer and looks the percentage call.
