Apache Point and Sarraaf share 23 years between them and while both are still capable of winning races neither can be backed with any confidence and a better bet looks to be MYSTICAL AYR. The selection has been running well without winning of late and Linda Perratt's mare looks worth chancing on suitably testing ground. Defi should on pedigree be fine on a soft surface but his best form is on fast ground so he looks best watched. Grit was good value for his win at Ayr last week but he has to race off a career high mark under his penalty today so looks best watched, while Superior Star has more to do than when winning here last time and preference is for Mystical Ayr.
