In depth
Verdict
Strong form is thin on the ground so a chance is taken that the drop in trip will suit Heathyards Joy, who is narrowly preferred over Must Be So and Tarani, who may be the best of the bad bunch that make up the opposition. Pardon Moi is also respected on the very best of her form but she does have to better recent performances to figure today. In truth, the same can be said of all the field judging by their paltry return of just two career wins between them, so a cautious approach is also advised before getting heavily involved. However, Heathyards Joy has been running well without getting home over slightly further and, as she is still very lightly raced, this could be the ideal time to catch her as she bids to get her first win under her belt.
