A bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Darcey Mae, Larksong and Still Runs Deep and the tentative vote goes to Darcey Mae. The selection is a winning pointer and this mare by Afzal will not need to be anything special to make a winning debut under rules. Larksong rates the main danger she is a mare by Opera Ghost who is representing connections that do well in this sphere so she is worth monitoring in the market. Still Runs Deep is a mare by Karinga Bay and is bred to do better over a longer trip. The remainder make limited appeal on breeding or have shown virtually nothing so are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Darcey Mae.
