In depth

Verdict

A torrid little race with a mix bag of performers running over six furlongs. Form pick is probably Legal Set who ran well for a spell last season but has failed to recapture that level of late. However with the lack of quality competitors here he is the tentative TEAMtalk selection to land this claimer. Further Outlook stands out on BHB ratings but his recent form has been poor. He can be overlooked here. My Lovely would have a chance on the best of his old form but he has lost his way of late. Amelia can not be dismissed lightly and has shown form on this surface in the past. A recent run will have sharpened him up and he could prove the main danger to the selection.
