The market will provide plenty of food for thought and in the absence of it, INFINITY WORLD is the pick with Katy's Secret and Emma Jean Lass closely watched. Geoff Oldroyd's filly is rated just 59 but her recent appearance over seven furlongs represented a step in the right direction and the ability to act on the surface is not in question. Katy's Secret had Special Betty behind when the pair met. Neither had any response to an odds-on hotpot on their latest racecourse start. Emma Jean Lass has had six chances to get off the mark. On the positive, David Evans has had a number of winners of late. Two Kisses reverts to sprinting having failed to cut much ice over further. Fareham Town has not shown a great deal on the track though the booking of Eddie Ahern appears to be a big positive. Charles Bear and Bubber represent yards that are more than capable of notching up prizes at this grade. Infinity World looks no great shakes though in truth, she does not need to be in order to land this.
