The second division of a shocking contest and punters pushed for a bet could do worse than Mimas Girl. Roy Bowring's filly almost took advantage of a lenient rating when a close third in slightly better grade over this course and distance last week and a reproduction would suffice off the same mark. Opposition is thin on the ground but includes Double Spey who is well treated on the pick of last year's form and should go well if fit following an absence of four months. Smithy has respectable recent form and may reach a place but Mi Castano returns from a ten-month break and Taggerty has been well below his best of late.
