Verdict

Every runner from the Phillip Cole yard. Sassy Abbey is likely fave but chancing PLEASING SMILE (4) running her down. Has been racing well without winning, the latest behind I Loverrain who is in the previous race. Will run the trip right out and looks tough to stop. SASSY ABBEY (5) was an all-the-way maiden winner last time, clearing out to score by a space. The small field suits and she'll likely lead again, but is yet to race beyond 5 ½f. If there's a chink in the armour it could only be running the trip but she'll be in this for a long way again. GOD'S EYE (3) was on speed but no match for Sassy Abbey last time. Another unknown beyond 5 ½f but will give a sight again. GRAYSVILLE (1) has been freshened and is coming back from the mile. He'll be strongest late. BRASH LASS (2) needs to improve sharply.
