Boogie Babe has been a major improver since sent handicapping on turf, and has obvious claims if able to translate that ability back onto synthetics (disappointing earlier in her career). However, she faces a fairly formidable rival in the shape of the enigmatic
GROUNDWORKER. The Paul Midgley trained sprinter is best suited by coming late off a fast pace and needs the splits. Whilst some might crab his latest effort at Musselburgh (held every chance, and certainly hasn't always delivered in the past), he was briefly checked about one and a half furlongs from home, and had he been able to come stands side of the eventual winner (See Vermont) rather than far, the placings might well have been reversed. This decisive C&D winner (from a 4lb higher mark) rates as a solid selection.
