Oopsie Daisy might be up to winning again in what looks a tricky finale to the evening. James Fanshawe's filly came good last time in first-time cheekpieces and we will take the chance that they will work again. The daughter of Singspiel has to concede weight to the field, but once fillies start improving at this time of year, they usually pay to follow. Amoras sidestepped another engagement earlier in the week to run here and, a course and distance winner, warrants respect. Uno Mento and Mary's Baby are also track and distance scorers and ought to be competitive while Kieren Fallon is an interesting booking for Geoff Wragg's Isla Azul, as is Kevin Darley for Cuddles. It looks tricky but we'll stick with Oopsie Daisy to make no mistake.
