Verdict

Muraaqeb found only one too good last week attempting a course and distance double having beaten CHAKRII by only a head before that. The latter re-opposes on better terms today and may well turn the tables in a weak contest. Pike Corner Cross has shown no improvement for switching yards and has yet to win over this far while Blowing Dixie hasn’t won anywhere yet but remains unexposed. Ximena makes her handicap debut and may finish closer but Outlaw Torn and Margaret J have a bit to find with Muraaqeb.
