Verdict

The 7lb penalty would ordinarily be off putting as Wunderbra bids to land the four-timer here. However, as nothing really stands out as being more progressive than the daughter of Second Empire, she is given a confident build up. Tizzy's Law, who is also penalised for winning at Folkestone, comes into the race as the biggest threat, while Mirasol Princess is in good form but has never raced on ground this soft before and looks opposable on balance. However, Wunderbra has really found her racing boots of late and has created the impression that she has not stopped improving yet. The fact that she is being kept so busy underlines how highly her connections regard her current well being and she is given the office to continue to pay her way with trip and ground sure to suit her again here.
