Verdict

SAINT LOUIS BEAT (9) has the hoof on the till after finishing second in her last two starts at this circuit, the latest from a similar draw and over this distance. Big chance to go one better. TOMMY BLIGH (4) has been racing well of late. Finished third at this circuit and distance on Tuesday, giving him four placings from his last six starts. A win looks imminent. MISS HATTIE (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth here last time out and is aided by a low draw. BEACH MAGIC (8) was held up for a clear run went beaten 4.7m last week so could have finished closer.
