A few disappointing types here and Wolf River is given one more chance, Nans Lady and River Club could be the main rivals. David Simcock's three-year-old has come up against some progressive types this season including Snaafy, Jimmy Stiles and Flying Goose. There seems to be nothing of their calibre in today's line up and this could be his chance to lose his maiden tag. Nans Lady has gone close in a couple of competitive handicaps recently and has to be respected. However on official ratings she does have a bit to find with the selection. River Club is not the most consistent but does have claims on the pick of his form. Champagne Sue and Rite Petite are the only others worth a mention as they have scope for improvement, but in a pretty dire affair Wolf River should collect first prize.
