Verdict

Sweet Gale is in a decent vein of form of late and Artistic License looks much improved recently but it is MANGO MUSIC who gets the verdict. The Mick Quinn trained mare was the winner of a fillies' handicap when last seen and remains well treated. She is still 4lb below her highest ever winning mark and scored three times this time last year so appears to be one to keep on side with. Sweet Gale is in great heart recently. She was chasing a hat-trick when last seen but ended up losing out to an above-average type for the level. A similar result is expected for the mare today but any market movement would be of interest. Mick Channon's Artistic License has looked good so far this month recording a win just two starts ago and a decent effort in third last time. A place in the minors is expected of her but she has struggled since been raised in the weights. Sioux Rising was a winner over course and distance last time but she may struggle on this her handicap debut so for us Mango Music looks set to complete a double.
