Feelin Foxy looks opposable under her penalty and we're going to take her on with handicap debutante Cinnamon Hill. The primary concern with the selection is to whether she has the speed for this trip as her three runs last season all came over 7 furlongs. However, she showed ability and showed sufficient pace to suggest that it won't be a problem and, with her yard having made a good start, this could be the time to catch her. Feelin Foxy is a veteran by comparison and has run well here in the past but she looks to have plenty on her plate under the penalty. Tarkamara is well handicapped on the best of her form but she has passed up a few winning opportunities in the past. Support would make Penrice Castle of interest whilst Maggie Kate may prove up to reaching the frame again but Cinnamon Hill is taken to come home with her head in front.
