In depth

Verdict

Azurine showed improved form last time and Mark Johnston's filly can go one better this afternoon, Westcourt Dream and Dream rose may provide most danger. Azurine kept on well after a slow start to finish runner up to Esoterica at Musselburgh last week. A similar effort today should be good enough against this opposition. Westcourt Dream ran well over course and distance last time, just getting touched off the well backed Burton Ash. That was also an improved effort and she will be hard to keep out of the places again today. Mick Channon has been firing in the winners over the week-end and so Dream Rose, who has gone well in maidens and handicaps this season, has to be given every respect. The pick of the remainder could be Grande Terre, but we will pin our hopes on Azurine.
