Verdict

A chance is taken with Aphrodisia, who can confirm superiority over Lapina, while the hat-trick seeking Naughty Thoughts is also respected. Naughty Thoughts has won a couple of weak races since the turn of the year but has impressed with her attitude on each occasion. She has more on her plate today, but is capable of a bold show in her current frame of mind. Lapina makes her seasonal debut at a course she likes and, with her stamina proven; she is also shortlisted as a contender. Pat Eddery¿s charge doesn¿t appear to be especially well treated in the handicap just now, though. Snake Skin is another that has more to find under a penalty but, as she gets on well with Jim Crowley, a solid case can also be stated in her favour. However, Aphrodisia looks the one with the fewest questions to answer and this daughter of the mighty Sakhee is taken to put her race-fitness to good use here.
