Verdict

Verdict

BOLD ACTION had legitimate excuses last time and is the only runner in the lineup to have won over 2000m. COCOMELON, PLAY WITH FIRE and WISE COUNSEL are closely matched on the form of a recent 1800m meeting and there shouldn't be much separating them on these terms. The latter is open to any amount of improvement stretching out to this trip for the first time, though the same applies to UTSAAH and several others including CHARIKLO and BE MY FATE. The lightly raced latter is better off at the weights with her stable companion so could represent the value in the race. HOPSCOTCH is respected too.

Top Tip: Play With Fire (2)
Watch out for: Utsaah (3)
