Verdict
The progressive BEAT THE HEAT is difficult to oppose. Jim Boyle’s charge has won three of his last four outings, including last week’s debut on the Fibresand, and this shorter trip shouldn’t prove a problem. The remainder have a first run on the surface but Princess Siyouni has placed over 1m2f on Turf while Cheshire makes her handicap debut and is preferred to Fortultous, who has recently switched yards. Howizeegeezer races from out of the handicap having shown little so far.
