A few of these are already exposed as being of only moderate ability and this is not likely to have as great impact within the structure of the form book. However, Many Thanks has already hinted that there are races to be won with her and she could take all the beating in this company. The drop back in trip to a mile should be ideal for the daughter of Octagonal and she should have no problems with the predicted going at the overnight stage. The Ed Dunlop-trained filly would also have to concede weight away all round if this were a handicap and she will not have many better opportunities to get off the mark than this. Perfect Night is the logical alternative out of those with previous experience but she has been of the track for 100 days and has to conclusively prove her fitness. So bigger threats could be posed by Janayen and Ballinger Ridge, who make the most appeal out if the rest with previous experience - the former taking slender precedence as the least exposed of the duo. The newcomers do not look to be anything out of the ordinary judging by their respective pedigrees so, with experience on her side, Many Thanks looks the one to be on here.
