In depth
Verdict
A high draw is a distinct advantage here so it may be best to concentrate on the three next to the far rail, Bond Shakira, Lydia's Look and Petana, with the vote going to the first mentioned of the trio. In a race where very few have solid claims on recent form, Bond Shakira is less exposed than most and should appreciate the faster ground on her debut in a handicap. Lydia's Look and Petana are both well drawn but their recent form leaves something to be desired. A Bid In Time and White O' Morn are in better form than most of these and are handicapped to take a chance but are badly berthed towards the stands' side rail. Miss Wizz and River Lark are others worthy of a mention but, as we have said, a high draw is of such a big advantage over this course and distance that it would be foolish to look away from those drawn next to the far rail and, in particular, Bond Shakira.
