Verdict

This is certainly no better than the race won by HOT PEPPER over course and distance nine days ago. She's quite lightly raced so is fancied to defy her penalty with Dazzling Rita having struggled on soft going lately. It's a Long Road is the other penalised runner having scored at Exeter last week. He should stay the extra and makes more appeal than Look For Love and Dancing Solo.
