Verdict

A difficult race to open proceedings and one where AYE AYE SKIPPER is taken to build on his good effort on Saturday in a much stronger race than this. Jeremy's Jet and Babette are maidens who have improved lately, whilst Whaleweigh Station takes the eye off his basement mark. Henry Grace and Living Leader are other possibilities given previous course form, whilst Paco Filly has fewer miles on the clock than these and has shown signs of progress on her last three runs.
  1. Aye Aye Skipper
  2. Jeremy's Jet
  3. Babette
