A low-grade handicap but there may be a few in here capable of progress with Pass The Cristal being one of those although she does need to just settle a little better a comment that could also be leveled at Neptune Star. Shouldertoshoulder should be watched in the market given his connections having hinted at ability in the past with Fair Selene another who can’t be left out of the equation. Whatalove is rare Flat runner for his mainly jumps based yard but is of interest as is top weight Hidden Stash but overall the narrow vote goes to SWEET PURSUIT. She looks better than she has shown so far and on her pedigree may well just be better than her lowly mark.
