Verdict

SOLO RIVER can continue her run of luck to land this fillies handicap at the expense of Blur and Shesha Bear. The selection is four pounds higher since her course and distance success last time out and the fact that she has form at this track is a big bonus so she is difficult to oppose. Blur comes from a powerful yard and caught the eye when finishing third of 12 at Folkestone last time out and with further improvement still to come she has to be short listed to run well. Shesha Bear carries top weight and has risen four pounds since breaking her maiden tag over course and distance last time out. She is another that has improved with experience and can once again be in the shake up. But for the winner we return to Solo River.
