Verdict

Lady Marigold has yet to win a handicap but is getting closer as she slips down the weights and finished runner-up over track and trip last time. Lord Murphy finished well ahead of Ainne when a close-up fourth here last time and Stosur pops-up at this level when the mood takes him though that’s not very often nowadays. Sharp Operator could be in the mix but a chance is taken ESCAPE TO THE CITY will come good now handicapping for the first time having shown gradual improvement in novice company and Jamie Osborne’s filly gets a speculative vote.
