This doesn't look like a race to get too heavily involved in, but if taking to the surface GARRA MOLLY is capable of winning it, but alternative selections would be Air Maze and Taminas Desert. This represents a step down in trip for Alan Swinbank's filly, who he's also entered here in a maiden tomorrow. He's running her on the all-weather for the first time, and the shorter race looks to be a positive. Air Maze cost 600 thousand Euro and is having just her third outing. She's been runner up in the previous two, here and at Southwell. First time blinkers may bring some improvement for Wusuul, who of the half a dozen here with an official mark is second only to Garra Molly. Taminas Desert is having only her second run. Well down the field on debut at Kempton last summer, she looks a big sort well capable of landing this sort of contest. She's Marco Botti's only runner on the card. There are some imponderables, over changes in trip and the surface, but we're happy to take a chance with Garra Molly.
