PINA COLLADA was beaten only a short-head at Chelmsford last week and Mark Johnston’s filly can go one better in this similar contest. Mid Day Rush won at the latter track in January and has gone close again off today’s mark subsequently but Hundon never threatened the winner when third here last time. Unashamed makes his handicap debut and may prove best of the rest.
