Verdict

PINK GIN (5) showed immediate improvement when racing on this surface, and is chasing a hat-trick of wins at this level. She cops an extra 7lbs, but is on target to get the job done again. LADY IRIS (1) has thrived on this surface with 2 placings and a win from her last 3 starts here, including a half-length second behind the top pick the last time they met 3 weeks ago. Stick with her. CHATELLE ROSE (4) makes her race day debut on this surface fresh up from a spell, and she won a recent trial on this track earlier in the month. She comes to hand quickly, and cannot be taken lightly. Check the market. THE PERFECT ONE (3) dashed home from last to get up and score comfortably here 4 weeks ago. He cops an extra 4lbs, but he can have the last say again.
