Ivan Furtado looks to have found a good opportunity for MUTARAAFEQ. The latter has been thereabouts in handicaps recently and should have little trouble dispatching today’s opposition if running anywhere near his official mark. Silver Bubble went close over 6f here on her latest start but has plenty to find with the selection on these terms while Great Ridley may prove best of the remainder despite failing to show any progress here last time.
