Verdict

Not a deep race. Choochoobugaloo is with an astute trainer and jockey combination (Sam and Jonathan England) but she blew her golden opportunity when finding precisely nothing whatsoever off the bridle at Newcastle, and although perfectly capable of winning this similarly moderate race doing absolute handsprings, she most definitely isn't one for the mortgage at short odds. With the remainder wholly unconvincing, the only real viable alternative is the Noel Kelly-trained BRACKA LILY. The sharp nature of Kelso mightn't prove to be a match made in heaven but she showed more than enough ability at Down Royal (outpaced at a crucial stage) on Boxing Day.
  1. Bracka Lily
