Verdict

It's hard to be confident about any of these. Quan's recent maiden win came on the Fibresand and Renoir's Lady was a 14/1 winner over C&D in an even lower grade than this. Phils Wish found a big run from somewhere when runner-up here last time having shown nothing previously while Fortunate Bid has been back on a winning mark for some time without taking advantage. MACK'S SISTER is another looking to make the most of a slip down the weights and, after a couple of placed efforts on the Polytrack, it could be her turn today.
