Verdict

TUSH remains unexposed having had just two handicap starts and this step up in trip can see her register a first victory in this highly competitive handicap. The selection looks likely to appreciate the extra furlong here and can get the better of top weight Arbourfield who has run well on his last two starts and can do so once more. Kodi Koh is less exposed than most of her rivals and can claim third.
  1. Tush
  2. Arbourfield
  3. Kodi Koh
