COUNT OTTO was beaten less than a length over 7f here last month by today’s rival Total Commitment. But he’d beaten the latter over course and distance earlier and Amanada Perrett’s charge can come out best once again back over today’s trip. Recon Mission has a bit to find with both of the above while several of these won their penultimate starts with Invincible Larne and Diligent Lady both scoring here and Requinto Dawn successful at Southwell.
