With several horses unproven at the trip and some making their handicap debuts this looks a trappy maiden handicap, but MIGHTY MAMBO looks solid enough and gets the vote. Our selection confirmed a liking for rain-softened ground at Hamilton last time and starts life in handicaps off a fair looking rating of 70. He's closely related to 2m winner Keenes Day and can follow in the family footsteps by landing this from Miniyamba. John Dunlop's charge is a thorough galloper who lacks a change of gear but with stamina key under these conditions she should go well, especially if invigorated by first-time blinkers. Viviani seemed to stay 1m6f well enough last time but never posed a threat while Silver Colors hasn't yet shown enough to suggest she'll live up to her excellent pedigree. Bravo Bravo is another handicap debutant who needs a market check in a low-grade contest.
