Verdict

A poor seller gets proceedings underway but something has to win and the principals look to be Best Suited, Hildegarde and Brilliantsensation and the tentative vote is given to Hilldegarde. The selection was a fair fifth behind Fly Kiss last time out that form looks solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Best Suited rates the main danger as he has the highest rating here but he was very disappointing behind Cat Whistle last time. However this represents a big drop in class and he should be watched in the market. Brilliantsensation is another that could go well on his best form but he would be better off with some of these if this were a handicap and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Korkula is another dropping in class while the booking of Richard Hughes for Ambrose Princess catches the eye but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Hilldegarde.
