In depth
Verdict
Sweet Namibia, Fizzlephut, Joyeaux and Maigue Violet are a handful against the field in this ultra-competitive handicap and the token vote is given to Sweet Namibia. The selection won well last time out when beating Mostanad and although she has a penalty for that win, she scored with a little in hand and is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Fizzlephut rates the main danger as she won a maiden in good style last time out when beating Cayman King. However she looks to have plenty of weight in this handicap for what she has actually achieved and for that reason she is opposed. Joyeaux is another last time out winner with place claims as she beat Cerrebus last time out and if there is more rain she would not be far away as her best form is with plenty of cut in the ground. Maigue Violet is another last time out winner that could go well but this is a lot tougher than the race she beat Night Delite in in her native Ireland and for that reason she is passed over. Of the remainder, Unlimited is from an in form yard and could run well at a price, but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Sweet Namibia.
