A poor opener and WATCH THE WIND is a token selection against Toulouse Express and Hollows Mill. Backing horses that are 0 from 16 is hardly the way to be making money but this mare has shown plenty of form with give underfoot and a repeat of her run behind Native Coll, whom she meets at much better terms today, puts her in with a shout. Toulouse Express has been in better form of late. He plugged on gamely over course-and-distance having been sent up to the front at an early juncture. Hollows Mill should find the hill coming into play at the end of the race. He can be anticipated to have come on for the seasonal reappearance. Bog Oak and Italiano can at least be argued to be coming down the weights. Royal Glen is a regular in moderate events and the handicapper has little room to move her to a winnable mark granted her consistency. Whatcanyasay has shown her best form on a faster surface. A bad race that makes limited appeal but for the selection we are with Watch The Wind.
