Verdict

HEDENBERGITE (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when she was in the firing line all the way over this track and trip. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FINE DAY (1) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 7f at this track. Best form puts her right in this. FLORAL ROMANCE (8) drew wide and was pretty plain last time despite meeting with market support when finishing fifth at this course and distance. A better showing is expected. FAIR CLOUD (11) made progress last time out, finishing third here. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
