Verdict

A highly competitive handicap can see MY SILVER NAILS take advantage of a good draw in stall five to register her third victory of the season. The selection shapes as if she'll appreciate this slight step up in distance and she can provide trainer Michael Mulvany with his second winner of the week. Second place can go to top weight El Greco who is seeking to complete a hat-trick on his handicap debut while Wentwood represents a yard who do well at this meeting and can claim third on his first outing in handicaps.
  1. My Silver Nails
