GOODISON GOAL is a speculative selection with Take My Hand and Choc'a'moca likely to figure in the market. The Pat Morris' inmate has been gifted a decent draw this afternoon and while she was well held at Kempton last time out, she showed enough on a previous visit to Lingfield to suggest that she was capable of landing a small race. The booking of Kieren Fallon aboard Take My Hand is noteworthy. She may have been unfortunate to run up against a well handicapped sort at Kempton last time out. Choc'a'moca drops in trip having shown plenty of speed over further. Swift Steel has shown nothing of late in maidens though off a mark of 47; if there is any ability there - the handicapper has offered her every opportunity. Inlovingmemory ran in a plating contest for Richard Fahey but has shown little for Maurice Barnes over longer trips. Taper Jean Girl and Tamarind Hill have been kept on the go on the all-weather this winter though neither seem that progressive. Goodison Goal is the pick in a difficult race.
