PERFECT BLOSSOM has a good draw and can put her experience to good use today. Tarita travels a long way for this, and is respected. The last named represents a top yard, so is sure to be popular in the betting; while My Mandy is also going the right way and, as she sets the standard on the BHA ratings for the time, she must also make the shortlist. From the others: Moorhouse Girl is an interesting newcomer worth noting in the betting, while the Richard Fahey-trained Laureldean Desert is another to monitor closely. Bahraj was very disappointing last time out and looks one to be wary of for the time being. Therefore, with all things considered, Perfect Blossom gets the nod for as the one to side with. The daughter of One Cool Cat has already encountered a variety of going descriptions and, as she is likely to be available at much more attractive odds than Tarita, it's the locally-trained Perfect Blossom who is fancied to represent the best value to cause a minor upset.
