My Final Bid, Windy Hills and Nevada Red will see this maiden event out with the vote going to the last named. Ginger McCain has his team of horses in great form at present and Nevada Red had been running consistently well when last seen out in December when finishing third at Sedgefield. With luck on his side and further improvement to come Nevada Red is one to stay on the right side of. My Final bid will be the likely favourite after a string of seconds to his name. His latest start when second of fourteen behind Money Trix at Kelso last month was a career best but his attitude has to be questioned with so many seconds to his name. Windy Hills is another consistent performer and has done nothing wrong on his two starts this season so is worth noting in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Nevada Red.
