No Worries Yet is selected in the finale. Diminuto and Exit Strategy can go close at this level; while Night Prospector takes his racing well and joint top weight is not an insurmountable burden in this company. The last named has plied his trade at a much higher level than this in the past but has obviously settled into his ways these days. He has the ability to brush this lot aside if he wishes, so may be worth a saver if the odds are attractive enough. Exit Strategy - a stablemate of Night Prospector - has bits and pieces of form on heavy ground, so cannot be discounted. It is not easy to ascertain if there is a stable preference from the jockey bookings, so a careful monitoring of the betting market is advised. Diminuto pays her way and is back on a winning mark. She is a likely type for each-way punters to have running for them. However, No Worries Yet gets the nod as the main hope on this occasion. The lightly raced four-year-old represents a highly shrewd operation and, given that she has taken on a stronger calibre of opponent in each of her previous starts in 2008, this may be a good time to give the John Spearing-trained filly another chance.
