It’s a surprise to see BUY ME BACK at this level having ran well for third in novice company at Newcastle behind higher rated opposition than this. Archie Watson’s filly can open her account fitted with headgear for the first time. Divine Connection is clear of the rest at the weights having finished runner-up in a claimer last time. She should have the measure of Fact Or Fable and South Light on these terms with the others even harder to recommend and White Face making little appeal on breeding.
