    Verdict

    A Woman In Love may beat Zilmead Dancer and I Wish in this fillies only affair over seven furlongs. Trained by Brooke Sanders, A Woman In Love is a course and distance winner here and has been unlucky not to get her name on the scoresheet of late. At Epsom last time the blindfold was removed too late and she then found herself short of room when challenging. It was a similar story at Kempton the time before when she also encountered trouble in running. The return to seven furlongs should suit, and she is not badly handicapped on her best form. Topweight Zilmaid Dancer was only beaten a length at Salisbury last time, her best form to date, while I Wish takes a big drop in grade after contesting a class B at Goodwood, but is still a bit too high in the weights. Of the rest, it would be foolish to discount Annijaz, given Milton Bradley's excellent record, but for the winner we return to A Woman In Love.
