Verdict
Three times a winner on turf, the handicapper may have Milnagavie in his grip now, while Potentiale has been racing off similar marks to today's for some time but can't quite get his head back in front. Lisahane Bog has claims back on the Polytrack and Querido could figure back down in distance along with Elmfield Giant. However, in an open contest a chance is taken on the admittedly frustrating BIKINI BABE. With her apprentices claim taken into consideration, she's now 21lb lower than at the start of the season and Mark Johnston's filly will pop-up in one of these races before long. It could be today.
