Verdict

With the stalls on the stands' side today, high numbers may have an advantage in sprints. Bath winner Zuzinia goes on the short-list, therefore, even though she seems better over 5f. Bondi Beach Babe arrives off the back of a victory at Carlisle but was beaten a length behind Burtonwood at Newcastle earlier. Cliff may find this on the sharp side but Hardy Black and Indego Blues can't be ignored. TANGO SKY, who won at Redcar in July, is usually thereabouts off this sort of mark and has the talented Rachel Richardson doing the steering - he gets a tentative vote.
