Verdict

This looks a tricky race to call but we will side with Jamoretta with Ballroom Dancer and Rule Of Life the main dangers. The selection has her first run in handicap company after just the two runs. She was in winning action at Goodwood last time out beating a decent field of nine. She is thrown in off a mark of eighty on her handicap bow and it looks pretty fair for a filly bred so well. She will have no problem with ground conditions and has to be one to stay on the right side of. Ballroom Dancer has a fair bit of weight to lump around here carrying top weight. She has run well on all starts to date so far and landed herself in the winners enclosure last time out at Goodwood. She looks a progressive type and although she has weight to give all round she is worth noting in the betting market. Rule Of Life is more exposed than most and although she has run well in all her handicap runs she has never really looked like winning one yet so is to be treated with caution. So for the winner we return to Jamoretta.
