Verdict

BRIERY STAR is selected in the hope that he attracts market support with alternatives being Upright Ima and Ceilidh Lass. Upright Ima's last two wins both came over course and distance and there has to be some doubt as to whether this fully exposed mare is up to defying a 13lb rise in the weights for her victory in a weak seller but she is a likeable performer. Ceilidh Lass didn't show a great deal in her first five starts but there were sufficient positives to be taken from her staying on fifth at Sedgefield to believe that she can be a factor in this company. One Black Cat is another with possibilities but Briery Star has done enough in qualifying for a mark to think that she can be a player on her handicap bow. She raced with the choke out at this venue last time so the drop back in trip looks sensible, the yard has a respectable record at this track and has been in great form under both codes so everything looks to be in place for a big run from Briery Star.
