LAPIDARY is bred to be effective over this trip and, having won her last two starts in a determined manner, she is open to further progress in handicaps and gets the nod.
Strict Tempo is consistent and more proven over this trip than her old rival
Shorter Skirt, so also merits consideration. As does
To The Moon who is unexposed and starts her handicap career at winnable level. By contrast,
Turn 'n Twirl (top weight) and
Angel Mead (race fitness and AW debut) have questions to answer for one reason or another and are hard to asses on the bare form. The betting can guide where they are concerned.
