Verdict
With the stalls on the stands' side it could prove beneficial to have a low draw and with Loveisdangerous drawn next to the rails, she gets a narrow vote. Nigel Tinklers filly travelled well for a long way over course and distance last time, in a similar contest to this, when forced to race wide. Hopefully Pat Eddery can bounce her out of the stalls and make every post a winning one. Baytown Shamrock has been kept busy, this being her 15th outing of the season. While she does have bits and pieces of form at this level, it would be something of a surprise if she was good enough. Blue Moon Hitman benefited from the drop in class last time and as this is no stronger, he is to be feared, along with Emperor Cat, who hasn't been getting home over further. The return to the minimum is sure to show him in a better light and he may provide the biggest threat to Loveisdangerous.
