MIND OF HER OWN, Blue Rum and Blue Bond make the shortlist here, with Mind Of Her Own taken to have learned from her experience at Beverley on Wednesday. Pat Haslam's runners in this class should always be watched carefully in the market and on breeding she looks interesting. By a Richmond Stakes winner, and a half sister to a winning sprinter, she certainly has the breeding to go well. Blue Bond has had two outings to date, well beaten in a decent maiden on debut, where the form is starting to work out, he shaped much better when beaten two and a half lengths in a Wolverhampton maiden last time, and further improvement can see him play a part here. Mind of her Own was putting in her best work at the finish when beaten less than five lengths in a Beverley maiden, and it looks significant that she is turned out so quickly. Mind Of Her Own can take this.
