Verdict

A novice contest which has attracted a small field of older horses (all four-year-old's) so it's perfectly fair to state that this isn't a competitive race. Poet's Pride could strip fitter for a recent run although will require an end-to-end gallop over this 6f trip (stays further). Therefore, the most logical option is the admittedly exposed PLAYFULL SPIRIT. Her bare AW form on Tapeta at Newcastle isn't anything out of the ordinary, and she's obviously well down the pecking order within her yard but assuming she takes to this more demanding surface (Fibresand) she rates as the likeliest winner.
  1. Playfull Spirit
  2. Poet's Pride
  3. Haader
