        Verdict

        De Little Engine is usually thereabouts at this level though still looks a shade high in the weights and JOYFUL DREAM is preferred in her current mood. She’s won over course and distance in two of her last three outings and John Butler’s mare is taken to confirm latest running with Soaring Spirits and go in again. Tarrzan ran below par over a mile here last time but was placed over track and trip before that while Melo Pearl found only one too good the last time she raced over 7f here and both are preferred to Soaring Spirits.
