This looks to be a match up between MAHIKI and Admin, but there may be support too for Reddy To Star. Simon Callaghan's filly is on a hat-trick, albeit the previous wins were at a lower grade and on the Southwell fibresand. Those successes were in a seller and a nursery, and she comes here well in at the weights with the other two on our shortlist. She's the yard's only runner on the card, (they had a good winner here on Saturday) and Hayley Turner does well round here as well, so plenty of boxes are being ticked. Reddy To Star keeps threatening to live up to his name. Well down the field in the Newbury Super Sprint, he's previously posted four successive runners up spots in maidens, some of which were better races than this. Joint top weight with Admin, both are trying the Polytrack for the first time, and both are well drawn too. Admin is lightly raced with this his fourth outing and first in handicap company. Beaten at odds on last time out, expect him to be at the vanguard early on. He must be well thought of, holding an entry for a listed race in October. It's got the makings of a decent little heat this, with our preference being for Mahiki.
