A difficult race to close proceedings and some talented claimers are employed here. Dreaming Time represents an in form yard who do well here but her rider's inexperience is a worry. Golden Guest has won twice under today's claimer and must go close as should Kilbaha Lady. Halinka represents top connections but only looks moderate and our vote goes to SUSSEX GIRL for the John Berry yard who are 3-4 in the past fortnight. The lightly raced filly will not want any rain, but she has shown enough to suggest that she could be competitive from this mark following a generous drop in the weights since last time.
