SUPERMASSIVE MUSE is our idea of the most likely winner with Raccoon and Galpin Junior respected as dangers. Ed McMahon's yard have bounced back into the spotlight having taken the Super Sprint at the weekend and while Supermassive Muse isnt at that level of ability, he should have come on for a couple of recent spins and is interestingly dropped in grade having previously kept counsel in some fair handicaps. Raccoon needs the ground as fast as possible. All credit however must go to Ruth Carr who has kept him consistently winning despite a tubing operation. Galpin Junior was rated in three figures when trained by Brian Meehan. His third at Hamilton was an improvement upon two recent efforts though they really do pale into insignificance against his earlier glories. Efistorm wins in his turn and has a workable draw this afternoon. Dispol Kylie was notably weak in the market at Doncaster last time out and ran accordingly. Makbullet was a decent juvenile so the market is watched given the current form of the stable. Supermassive Muse makes most appeal in a race where it is difficult to judge the relative levels of deterioration amongst the protagonists.
