Miss Daawe can complete her hat-trick at the main expense of Blazing Heights and Katie Boo. Brian Ellison's mare has been in fine form this year and may still be a step ahead of the handicapper despite a 2lb rise for her latest success. She only does just enough as her two recent wins by a neck and a head testify but that makes it hard for the assessor to nail her and she's taken to complete her hat-trick. Katie Boo is another that comes into the race at the top of her game and she should be competitive from her current mark but may struggle to win from it. Blazing Heights has been running with credit in better company than this of late. He has slipped back to an attractive mark and it would be no great surprise to see him run a big race this evening but we prefer to side with his in-form rival Miss Daawe.
