A competitive field goes to post for this handicap and many would have chances on their best form and the main contenders look to be Victory Vee, Noble Lady and Ashtree Belle and we will take a chance on Victory Vee. The three year old from the Mark Blanshard yard won well over course and distance last time out and she looks well in off this mark is she can reproduce that effort. Noble Lady rates the main danger she was a good second behind Paddywack last time and is another proven on the surface so she will not be far away. Ashtree Belle is another worthy of respect she was a good second behind Vortex over course and distance last time but gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with her so for that reason is opposed here. Of the remainder Mallard and Geronimo are from yards in form and are worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Victory Vee.
