A typically poor claimer where Fantasy Parkes stands out at the weights and gets the vote ahead of Teasing and Nikolaievich. The selection has any amount in hand the way the weights are framed here and comes here after a couple of ordinary efforts in handicaps. If she could be relied upon to produce her Redcar running from May then she'd be a shoo-in, and she should have too much class. Teasing is a maiden on turf and clearly looks more likely on artificial surfaces. What she does have in her favour is consistency and therefore if she runs her race again then the frame probably awaits. Nikolaievich won a Leicester claimer over 7f in May and returns to this easier company than recent handicap runs with some optimism of taking home some money. Shotley Mac has just one win from 24 attempts, but he often makes the frame and with conditions and trip to suit he'd have a chance of repeating the dose here. Encores looks the pick of the remainder, but for today we'll take Fantasy Parkes to score.
