Verdict

Ghepardo won over track and trip last time and is 5lb higher. Our Man In Havana and Aquadabra filled the places on that occasion with Glamorous Force further behind but BELLEVARDE can race off the same mark as when finishing a close-up fourth at the same fixture here. The latter drops down a grade for this and gets the vote. The returning Shesadabber has a shout off her current mark but Wild Flower looks high enough in the weights.
