Verdict
COMMAND MARSHAL, Petit Fleur and Lansdowne Princess are the trio to focus on here, with Command Marshal, in good form just now, the selection. Lansdowne Princess is still a maiden in over thirty starts but there was a lot to like about her latest run, in a race which has worked out well, and this looks a decent chance for her to break her duck. Petit Fleur has been dropped three pounds since running a sound race in defeat last time, another race which has worked out well. Command Marshal was not winning out of turn when scoring impressively last time, and a 7lb penalty looks unlikely to stop him.
