Something looked amiss with Major Major last time having won here when landing a double earlier in the year. Kempton winner Geelong has yet to score on Turf but On The Right Track won over today’s trip at Bath in June and is preferred to the maiden Change Of Fortune. SHOWY was having only her second start in a handicap when runner-up at Bath with a disappointing Between The Covers behind but beat a subsequent winner and this extra distance may bring further improvement.
