Verdict

An ordinary maiden at best and Lady Rochbonne may finally break her duck here, with Kaystar Ridge next best and Elijah Pepper no back number. Lady Rochbonne is dropped back in trip from 7f here and that may be the key to her, as she has shown enough speed thus far to be competitive despite her pedigree suggesting she wants at least 7f. It will be interesting to see how she goes but we'll give her the nod. In contrast, Elijah Pepper steps up from the minimum trip and according to pedigree that will be a positive. A couple of his earlier runs with cut in the ground read well in context, but this is not turf and his last run left a lot to be desired so we will give him the swerve. Kaystar Ridge is another inconsistent sort whose best form would give him a definite chance here. However, he seems to produce one decent run and one bad one and he is due the latter, so he is not one to lump on. Geezers Colours and Ridgeway Jazz are potential improvers that could show up well but Lady Rochbonne is given one more chance.
