Verdict

SWEET KISSES (5) goes well for jockey Sandkuhl who has a win and three placings from just five steers and again gets the benefit of her 4lbs claim. Saves her best form for this seven-furlong journey and looks hard to toss in this suitable contest. BEAU RAIN (3) is yet to miss a drum in four starts over this track and trip and strips fitter third-up from the break. Sure to play a big role. MISTERKIPCHOGE (9) just missed the frame when having his first run for the new stable and will have come on with that run now in the locker. Top-three prospects. PRINCE AKEEM (12) had been knocking on the door of another win and that culminated with a strong victory here at the latest outing. In the mix. TYCOON BEAU (6) best of the rest from the inside alley.
