What this handicap lacks in quality it makes up for in competitiveness and MAYBE I WON'T looks the marginal call ahead of Astrolibra and Make Amends. The pick still looks well treated under a penalty after a comfortable victory in a similar race last time out and while consistency has never been his forte he is at least on form. Astrolibra is now just a pound above her last winning mark and although previous seemly good opportunities have gone begging recently she still needs respecting on ground she likes. Make Amends found just one too good off this mark last time out and should go even better now racing on softer going and we can also mention Mayfair's Future who's racing off a career low mark. No great talent on show here and Maybe I Won't is very much the marginal pick.
