Verdict

Urban Calm will be hard to beat if she does herself justice today and this daughter of Cadeaux Genereux is readily preferred to Empress Josephine, Cargo and Safranine. The last named has bits and pieces of form that suggest she can play a part if she hits the gates running. However, she has never been so effective on the all whether and, as she has to prove her effectiveness at the track, she looks a little risky for win only purposes. Cargo started to fire at around this time last year and a move for him in the betting ring should not be dismissed lightly. Still, his recent efforts have hardly been inspiring and he now has a bit to prove. Empress Josephine is likely to be a popular choice when the best of her form is taken into account. Added factors for her is that she is previous course and distance winner that will benefit from the 5lb claim of Adam Kirby. However, Urban Calm has a better recent profile and, as she has missed out
