Verdict

Itsonlyagame, Vanilla Moon and Janes Valentine look the principals in this desperate maiden and the vote goes to Itsonlyagame who is well clear on official BHB ratings. The four-year old was sixth of seven behind Love That Benny on his last run on the flat and even a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Vanilla Moon rates the main danger and he was fifth behind Two Of A Kind in a similar race last time and with the drop in trip sure to suit he has definite place claims. Janes Valentine finished in mid-division behind Type One last time but was beaten only nine lengths and she could go well in this desperate affair. The remainder have shown virtually nothing and are readily opposed so we return to Itsonlyagame for the winner.
