      Verdict

      In the finale, Limonia is selected ahead of Overwing and Scarlett Heart. Overwing has dropped to two pounds below her Epsom winning mark of August 2006, which came over six furlongs on good to soft, so she gets a solid mention for this contest. Scarlett Heart has edged up the weights for consistent efforts and another good run is not ruled out over today's trip, while Hythe Bay has at least been given a chance by the handicapper and she has won at this today's venue. Grange Lili has it to prove on Turf, while Limonia is not ruled out from a lowly mark following a good Salisbury run and with a very good five-pound claimer booked, can go well. Finally, Lady Hopeful has it to prove from out of the weights which, in turn, returns us to the selection, which is Limonia.
