Verdict

Mademoiselle Penny would be one to consider if she turns up as she's also declared to run at Down Royal on Friday evening. Faradays Law has claims if forgiven a modest recent effort as it is interesting that a first-time tongue tie and blinkers are now applied. Dayereh ran well at this trip last time and Acari benefited from an excellent Gary Halpin ride to score at Gowran late last month. The combination should go well again off a 5lb higher mark, especially as the son of High Chaparral is lightly-raced for a 4-y-o. However, he does have to concede 13lb to another lightly-raced sort in DUCHESS RAVENWAVES. The latter has yet to reach the level of form of some rivals but she is improving with her racing and could well get involved off this mark if proving more amenable to restraint.
