Verdict
Crime Of Passion has been beaten in a couple of tougher races than this since winning at Ffos Las in August. But a chance is taken VELETA improves now handicapping for the first time having finished in front of Queens Road when third over the minimum trip at Kempton and Clive Cox’ filly gets the vote in a weak contest. Falacho is another handicap debutante that could figure having placed over a longer trip here while the more exposed Il Maestro slips further down the weights and may prove best of the rest.
