A very low-grade classified race in which BELO HORIZONTE is likely to be a short price after an easy victory at Yarmouth last week where she still looked in need of experience. She won't be eligible for a race of this nature after the ratings are updated. Essme goes well here, gaining her only victory in 23 starts on the track, but Sapphire's Moon has won once in 32 starts which doesn't inspire confidence. Primrose Maid is still a maiden and rarely runs anywhere but Yarmouth while Blue Curacao is also winless though ran very well at Epsom on her penultimate start.
