Verdict

Parkview Love, Magroom and Baan are the three to look at here and Parkview Love is taken to score again. Three time winner Magroom is a major player here, and showed last time that he is in good form, finishing a close second. a reproduction of that effort can see him in the shake up. Twice a winner as a juvenile, Baan, now four, has failed to win since. He has been tried over longer trips, but has benefitted in his last two starts from being brought back to this distance, and he has been placed twice. He looks ordinary, but can hit the frame again. Parkview Love has seven successes on the all-weather to her credit and gained one of those last time, staying on well here over seven furlongs. The handicapper has been very lenient, only raising her two pounds, and she has shown in the past that this trip is not a problem. Parkview Love can score again.
