Verdict

A race to tread very carefully with, as nothing brings anything like a solid profile into it. ANGEL'S ENVY really is a dart in the dark, as she's not shown much to date but there are signs of ability, and she's likely to do better for the step into handicaps and new trip. She certainly couldn't have found a much weaker race to start off in, anyway, and is worth taking a chance on. Fight Away Boys and Lady London are both unexposed and are interesting for various reasons - they might be the ones to give the selection most to do.
  1. Angel's Envy
  2. Fight Away Boys
  3. Lady London
