Several have won over track and trip recently including Broctune Red. The latter placed over a shorter distance here last time while Local Bay failed to land the odds over further having won at the start of the month. Pop Favorite and Plastic Paddy were both successful at the track in October with the latter preferred in this grade but TEFNUT may edge an open contest. Keith Dagleish’s charge has yet to win but has slipped down the weights and recent placed efforts over course and distance suggest her turn is not far away.
