      Verdict

      Sforzando is the selection in this race with Chia and Perfect Practice offered up as the alternatives. Linda Stubbs' mare would not have been suited by the pedestrian pace on her last visit to the track but with more runners obtaining today, she can reverse form with Chia. Derek Haydn Jones' filly appears assured of a front running role again this afternoon. Perfect Practice is often well backed and today may be no exception. The Kempton Park regular will be running on at the death and does need everything to fall right. Meditation makes a rare away day from Lingfield Park. Satin Braid has to bounce back from a below par run at Kempton and should be suited by a return to nine furlongs. Rosie's Glory did have a degree of ability but hasn't shown a great deal for Milton Harris. A trappy affair and Sforzando is likely to be a decent price and we take her to land this contest.
