Verdict

There are few that make any appeal in this and even the recent winner Joyful Star looks unattractive having been raised 7lb for picking up a minor prize last time. Honey Badger was in good form in the autumn and he needs to bounce back to that level having been given a pipe opener last month following a break. Kiwi Bay won three times last year and is nicely weighted, but he needs a few runs to reach his peak these days and others look more likely to win. MIMIC'S MEMORY has produced some solid efforts here in he past and her recent form shows she is consistently outperforming these rivals. A drop in the weights and a return to this track are further positives and she looks the most attractive proposition.
  1. Mimic's Memory
  2. Honey Badger
  3. Joyful Star
