Fix It gained his first success a fortnight ago when seeing off the attentions of Political Policy but the runner-up didn't get the best of runs and tonight's extra furlong can enable him to reverse the form. But it's MEIHUA, who was having only his fifth race and his first since November and was only beaten 2l after attempting to make all, who is entitled to come on enough to gain his first success. Represent Yourself, who had won a claimer last month, was well beaten and looks held but Beatify hasn't had much racing and looks the type to improve.
