Verdict

Johnston's Glory, Alecia and Little Miss Tara are the trio to consider and we stick with Johnston's Glory. Eric Alston's charge seemed a little unlucky on his latest visit to Dunstall Park, meeting trouble in running at a vital stage. This is not a strong race and it is there for the taking. Alecia was a fair juvenile for Clive Cox but has not been able to convert this into victory for Andrew Balding. She is one of the best in on BHA figures. Little Miss Tara has a record of 0-15 and has spurned easier chances. Blackbury is a plating hurdler while Nawayea and Maiden Investor are hard to fancy. Todwick Owl is likely to front run but could be flattered by his current BHA rating. A moderate maiden and Johnston's Glory is the pick.
