EXOTIC BEAUTY appeals as the one to be on here. Boga, who swapped hands of 10,000 pounds after a modest final effort for Mick Channon (19 days ago) at Goodwood, has some bills to pay so it worth monitoring in the betting, while Palisades Park may be the better of Richard Hannon's duo (he also sends out Kings Of Leo). Palisades Park showed plenty of determination to get out of a pocket on the rail at Sandown 9 days ago. However, he also created the impression another furlong would not go amiss and he may find the minimum trip is a touch too sharp before long. Take Ten is also worthy of a mention, as he almost certainly needed the experience when he was introduced at Haydock a fortnight ago. An expensive purchase, Mark Johnston's colt has a hatful of fancy entries and he will be going on to better things if he posts a bold show here. He does need to improve greatly on the Haydock showing, though. Therefore, with all, things considered, Exotic Beauty just edges the vote of confidence on this occasion. An uncomplicated filly, this daughter of Barathea seems to know exactly what is required from her and, as Darryll Holland already knows plenty about her; Exotic Beauty can be fancied to get off the mark in this company
