Phardessa gets the confident vote here with Lilac and Beautiful Night rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating City Affair with plenty in hand and although having a penalty for that win she agin has conditions to suit and will be very hard to beat. Lilac rates the main danger as she has been in good form of late. However she just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with her last time out whenn third behind Blaeberry and she is taken on with this in mind. Beautiful Night is another that could go well on her latest second behind Shes Our Daisy especially as this longer trip should suit and she should be noted in the market. Ouh Jay made all to win in good style last time out. However that was over a longer trip and she looks vulnerable over this distance. Of the remainder Im Busy is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she is very one paced and for the winner we are happy to return to Phardessa.
