Verdict

JASPER CROSS (8) gets the nod after finishing fourth at this track last start, beaten just over half a length by Derma Haruna, and that came with market respect near the top of an open betting race. The 6f record is still to be improved, but his latest C4 figure gives him a strong platform. LOVE LEGAL (1) is the proven, in-form danger after a nose second behind Earth J Sonte and a third to Berken at this venue, with the quick back-up suiting, though the drop to 6f is the key question. LUCENT MOON (10) was a solid third to Levantarse last start, gets weight relief and has the ratings profile to run well despite a modest overall strike-rate. MELA VERDE (12) is the fresh improver in the mix, having charged home from well back to beat Daimei Z over 5f, and she brings upside if the extra 1f is within reach.
