A moderate affair in which Oh So Saucy is preferred to Support Fund and Make My Dream. The selection does have it to do on official figures but does at least stay this trip and having been well supported on two recent outings, she clearly shows a bit more on the gallops than she has done at the track. Support Fund would have been the bet had it not been for a couple of below par runs over further. It is surprising that connections have come for this race but it is nevertheless an event that would not take too much winning. Make My Dream came close to breaking a long standing maiden when getting the better of the draw at Lingfield. Similar comments apply. Welsh Auction has shown plenty of pace in earlier events but appears to be regressive from a formbook perspective. Strut The Stage earnt a high handicap mark following an early spell with Jim Bolger. The jury is out since joining Brendan Duke. Even Bolder is watched in the market. Not a strong maiden by any stretch of the imagination and Oh So Saucy rates as the tentative pick.
