Verdict
JANET'S PEARL deserves to get her head in front and looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to do so. Ann Duffield's filly has finished second on each of her last four starts since making a modest debut but there doesn't appear anything wrong with her attitude and a BHA rating of 71 appears accurate; it's a rating that should see her very hard to beat now dropping in both trip and grade. The stable have another string to the bow in Tom Bowler but he needs to find plenty of improvement for the fitting of a visor so the biggest threat to Janet's Pearl may come from last time out winner Saxonette. She made all to win on the Polytrack last time but has a solid run on quick ground to her name and Linda Perratt will surely find races for her in time, perhaps back over six. Baby Driver should get home and enters calculations on his second start behind the smart Mayson while Lough Corrib is surely capable of better and Likeable Lad needs a market check.
