Verdict

This is a very weak event and it could concern the three recent winner Up At Midnight, Wave Back and Fiddles Music, and we will take a chance on the first named. Richard Rowe's top-weight took advantage of a drop in ratings to land a mares only event at Kempton last time, beating Floreanna in a tight finish. She is up in the weights but should go close against this lesser opposition.Wave Back appears to be a bit of a Folkestone specialist winning two races there but getting well beaten in her other races. She doesn't look one to trust totally, but if she puts in her best effort she will be danger to all. Fiddles Music is no world beater but one well enough last time over the two mile trip here to warrant respect in this company. Martin Pipe runs Lady Lisa who was a very poor performer in Ireland, however she gets in here on a very low weight and should be watched in the betting. So all in all a difficult event to assess. but Up At Midnight should be able to give weight and a beating to her rivals.
