Verdict
Not a lot of form to go upon and on this occasion we side with Isobel Rose in preference to Night Rocket and Bussel. Isobel Rose has had her chances but this is not a strong race and her performances thus far make her the benchmark as far as the newcomers are concerned. Night Rocket is well bred and has to be respected as she is related closely to a number of winning sprinters. The market should tell its own tale. Bussel is bred to get further although there was a lot to like about her most recent run. She will qualify for handicaps after this outing. Scarlett Heart was very cheaply bought but hails from a shrewd yard. Midnight Sky is a half-sister to Miss Anabaa so she is another to keep tabs on in the market. Descargo may appreciate further in time and similar comments apply. Fruits D'Amour has shown little thus far and is left well alone. Isobel Rose has had her chances in the past and in the absence of market information,we make her the token pick on this occasion.
