A race that won't take much winning can go to Too Posh To Share, with Lago and Gin Palace the likely dangers. The latter would stroll to victory if reproducing anywhere near half his best, however in three runs this winter he has looked out of love with the game and so cannot be fancied today. The selection finished second last time out and has been given a fair break to get over those exertions. Whilst it is clear that this is definitely her level, this looks a weak contest and so she holds leading claims despite the fact that she is winless in 14 attempts. Lago also put in a good performance to finish second 18 days ago. He was only just touched off on the only selling start of his career, and as he takes a drop in class today he must be of obvious interest. At a price Nico's Dream could go well, being unexposed after just three starts, however we will tentatively return to Too Posh To Share to take this off her light weight.
