Verdict

This is a below average fillies handicap in which Celtic Spa, Ruby¿s Dream and Pink Bay stand out with the vote going to the last named. Pink Bay is by no means a world beater, infact she looks moderate but her recent form could well be good enough to win this poor event. She was only beaten two and a half lengths when fourth behind Loupehole at Leicester last time out and the winner has since scored again so she is worth staying on the right side of. Celtic Spa has been running in more competitive races of late and been doing her best. She is again moderate and has finished mid division on most of her runs to date so far so she has her limitations. Ruby¿s Dream did win a race at Leicester last month and followed up with an eye catching second at Warwick but was very disappointing at Lingfield last time out and is for that reason one to treat with caution. So for the winner we return to Pink Bay.
