Verdict
In our final contest Pequenita could prevail in what is a quite moderate looking juvenile hurdle, at the expense of Crimson Dancer and Cherokee Bay. Pequenita, has come up against two above average horses on his last two outings following an easy victory in a modest Folkestone event in November and if none of the newcomers are anything special she can regain the winning thread. Crimson Dancer was reported to have had a breathing problem when pulled up last time but is given a squeak on her previous effort when second to Trouble At Bay in a similar contest at Hereford. Of the debutantes Cherokee. Bay is worth checking out in the betting market, she has reasonable recent form on the all weather and the able assistance of Mick Fitzgerald. In conclusion this will not take too much winning and Pequenita is a confident choice.
