NEOM BEACH (1) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and three minor placings from six starts. Sure to go well again. BLUE SQUALL (3) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten 5 lengths, over 6f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Well placed in this easier race. Bold showing expected. MERASOL SUGAR (5) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 1.3 lengths into third over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) when she was always up in the leading division. Steps up a level but she is capable of running a bold race. UNDER THE PALMS (6) did a great job to score by one length over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid when resuming result. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field.
