Bint Dandy won twice at the track last year but over a mile on both occasions and Maggie Pink is preferred over today’s trip but she hasn’t raced since January. Gleaming Girl has crept back up the weights without winning so another chance goes to MAUREB. She was expected to finish closer over 6f at Pontefract during the week but won at Carlisle in June, when last seen over 7f, and Tony Coyle’s filly gets the nod on that form. Stosur makes more appeal of her current mark than Queen Aggie and Perfect Alchemy.
