In a tricky race to close out the card we take a chance on DAZZLING BEGUM to add to his decent strike-rate at this track at the expense of Jezza while any money for Me Fein would be extremely interesting. Back to his last wining mark of three starts ago the selection showed a spark of form last time out. He has a record of two wins from four starts when given this task and in a race that shouldn't take a great deal of winning he looks to have good claims. Jezza is unexposed and put in his best handicap run on his last start when racing under this burden. He should go well again but his previous efforts at this track leave a nagging doubt. Me Fein hasn't been seen for 447 days but on his old form he's really well treated and from this yard any market interest would rate as a big positive. Ocean Of Peace was a neck short of victory on his last start and with just a pound added to his mark he should be a live contender as could be Stravita after a much improve effort last time. A tough end to preoceedings but Dazzling Begum is weighted to score.
