Verdict

Not the kind of contest to get heavily involved with, but it would probably be wise to respect the all too obvious claims of the in-form Jack Blane. Furthermore, come the off-time of this contest, Saturday's Redcar form of My Girl Maisie might well have taken a considerable boost, but the over-riding suspicion remains that she'll be vulnerable over this longer trip even allowing for a relatively easy track. Therefore, a real chance is taken on the 14 race maiden TAGUR. His handicap mark is in free-fall, but it's safe to ignore his most recent efforts (on soft ground), and he might well get this race all too himself at a track where front-runners can excel.
  1. Tagur
  2. Jack Blane
  3. Cosmic Sky
