Verdict

Bitza Baileys is interesting if the market agrees, however a safer bet may be APHRODITE'S ROCK. Gay Kelleway's Falbrav filly was never able to feature in several maidens over six and seven furlongs but she then found plenty of improvement for the longer trip last time out on her handicap debut at Folkestone. Tom Eaves looks a good jockey booking and off the same mark of 65 she can oblige. Shadows Lengthen is open to improvement as he returns to the turf with the blinkers tried for the first time, Addison De Witt was a good winner over hurdles last time out at Perth and is a player based on his second to Omokoroa at Catterick last month, whilst Moggy needs to prove that this quicker ground will suit. Chichen Daawe never threatened at Redcar the other day and needs to find improvement for this longer trip whilst the same applies to K' Gari however he is unexposed and has a very low mark to start handicap life on. A good chance for Aphrodite's Rock to get a win under her belt.
