Despite being just out of the handicap, Rosa De Mi Corazon gets the vote ahead of Fractured Foxy and Dubai Magic. The selection made a good impression when winning over six furlongs here at Southwell last month. She won despite being outpaced and niggled along at halfway, and in the end won going away. This step up in trip looks sure to suit and with her stable in good form at present she is taken to improve and go in again. Fractured Foxy was disappointing last time out on just her second all-weather start. Previously however she had won well over six furlongs and if back on song today she can go close off this career-high mark. Eau Good is consistent and should appreciate this drop back in trip today. However he has a tendency to hang under pressure so cannot be truly fancied today. He is closely matched with Dubai Magic on their respective runs behind Chookie Hamilton, however Dubai Magic has the bonus of his yard being in good nick so he should go well today. Dolly Coughdrop completes the field but looks pretty exposed, so is passed over in favour of the selection Rosa De Mi Corazon.
