In a very competitive fillies¿ handicap we turn to CASCATA to get the better of Stagecoach Jade and Miss Beat. The selection is half-sister to high-class multiple 1m4f winner Grammarian. She was a winner on debut back in November and though she hasn't been seen since we expect her to run well fresh. Stagecoach Jade was a course and distance winner at the last time of asking, she will be improved but the race was run to suit and things won¿t be so easy for her here. She does have plenty of stamina in her pedigree however and that should see her make the frame. Miss Beat was last seen on boxing day, she was a course winner then and had finished runner-up in her two previous starts. We expect the filly to run well fresh here and she should be there or thereabouts at the post. High Cross was a course and distance winner earlier this year and ran with credit here last time and looks quietly progressive. Market check is advised but for us it is Cascata who gets the nod.
