Pivotal Connection (4/1), Miss Snossyboots (4/1), Nimitz (9/2), French Mix (7/1), Teo's Music (8/1), Lady Aristeia (9/1), Getgo (10/1), Miss Mirabeau (12/1), Shamad (14/1), Wild Shot (20/1), Cul An Ti (20/1), Vocal Activity (33/1), Jose Echegaray (33/1)

Verdict

It may be worth chancing handicap debutant PIVOTAL CONNECTION with this step up in trip likely to suit and she seems to be improving at this relatively early stage in her career. Teo's Music beat three of these rivals in her last race and looks to have been looked after by the handicapper so she has a chance. Consistent Miss Snossyboots is another expected to be firmly in the mix as she usually is.
  1. Pivotal Connection
  2. Teo's Music
  3. Miss Snossyboots
