Verdict

Not a race to get too heavily involved with and Foxy Gwynne may just have what it takes to break her maiden tag, with Lady Hen and Saraba others who can go well. The selection has been thereabouts over both a mile and 10 furlongs, so this 'halfway house' may prove to be ideal. All going seems to come alike to her, and as she does not have much finishing pace, perhaps making more use of her would be ideal from Jamie Spencer. But she is a genuine sort and with her trainer's record here good, she can score. Lady Hen has gone up 3lb for a course and distance success last time out, but has struggled off this mark before and will find this harder, while Saraba has to find a few pounds with the selection on official ratings, though she will stay on when others have cried enough. But Foxy Gwynne has been knocking on the door and can get it right this time.
