None of this bunch inspire much confidence. Perfect Peak finished runner-up over 5f here recently but a record of one win in 16 starts is off-putting. She finished ahead of a few of these last time including Lucky Mark, who won last year's renewal off a higher mark. Pancake Day also scored over track and trip earlier in the year but HAB REEH was returning from a lay-off when going close here in March and he gets a token vote to go well fresh again today.
