Perfect Story goes well here and is worth chancing to get the better of Perfect Blend and Danger Zone , who are in good enough form to be taken on their merits. Border Edge and Ali Bruce are others to throw into the mix, but neither look to be particularly well handicapped and may again be frustratingly short of the mark. Danger Zone is a previous course and distance winner that is in good heart at present. The ground should not be a problem for him and he can give the selection plenty to think about. However, Amanda Perrett's charge faces no easy task at the weights and he will need to be at his very best today. Perfect Blend is a lightly raced type that got off the mark in gritty fashion last time. However, she also has more on her plate this afternoon and it will take a big run from her to make all the running in this company. Especially if Perfect Story shows the turn of foot she is capable of producing. The James Toller-trained filly ran away from her field when landing a maiden auction here earlier this month; creating the impression that she will not be inconvenienced by the return to seven furlongs. Seb Sanders is a cracking jockey booking and everything is in place for another bold show from Perfect Story.
