Verdict

Another competitive race. FIRST LINE (2) has speed but might well take the sit here fresh and let a couple of others gas themselves. Has trialled well and can run on over the top. PRINCE OF KHATUN (1) normally leads but off the wide gate took a sit last time. Back to the rails expected to push forward. Burke has a great record while aboard and will take catching. SH' BOURNE ANGEL (4) was strongly fancied on debut and gave nothing else a chance, leading throughout. Has upside and will push forward from the wide gate and take beating again. QUEEN OF MALWA (3) is a lightly raced former Victorian mare who hasn't won for an age. Has run some good races for the new yard and resumes here on the back of a good trial. Will be charging late if presented on song. CELESTIAL GLOW (5) was a little off best last time but looks well weighted here with the claim and can atone.
