Verdict
This looks to be a match up between TANMEYA and Just Like That, but Joshua could be one to upset their party. Preference though is for Tim Vaughan's mare, who if she continues her recent sequence of winning every other race, will be home first today. A seven pound claimer on board means she avoids top-weight status. The trip will suit, as both her recent wins have come at two miles, although she may have preferred a little cut in the ground. This is a class above what she's been winning at, but it doesn't seem an unbridgable gap. Just Like That is joint top-weight, and bidding to end a string of places. Evan Williams' string are in decent form, but Just Like That has won over this trip before, and raced comfortably in better company. Joshua is lightly raced, and yet to lose his maiden tag, but the yard are having a fine season; he's well in at the weights, and he could spring a surprise if everything falls right for him. However, preference is for Tanmeya.
