Verdict

CHLOE'S COMET (6) was a good run fresh up for new yard. Plenty of improvement to come. Drawn to be a win chance here. CONMAN (3) has run two good fourths and a lost rider in three starts. New stable now. Drawn wide here but can cope. Top tier must. RIPICOLA (8) was a distant fourth at her last start. Better drawn today. Ran well in first two starts. Won a trial here before her debut. Definite include here. LET ME LOOSE (9) was not too bad a run fresh up. Modest effort at best last start. Not out of this at all. RED LABEL (11) has been poor on debut after a trial win prior. Wide gate here. Not out of this.
