Verdict
An Apprentice handicap opens racing here at Yarmouth and although good recent form is uncommon among the 11 runners it should still be a competitive race where we will side with PRETTY OFFICER with close competition from Karky Schultz and Camera Shy. The Rae Guest trained selection ran well when second at Nottingham last time and looks capable of going one better here today. She is well suited to fast ground and has looked progressive since returning to action three starts ago. Karky Scultz was the surprise winner of a modest handicap at Kempton when last seen. He lost his maiden tag at the 20th attempt so quite what the form amounts to is questionable. He's had a couple of placed efforts in the past and we expect similar here. Camera Shy went without cheek-pieces for this return to action last time and was the only one to make a serious race of it with the winner. He should come on plenty for the run and should make the frame here. Your Golf Travel looks best of the remainder and any market support will be interesting but he should be of no concern to our selection Pretty Officer.
