In depth
Verdict
FLYING LADY is the choice in this weak seller and she is nominated over Why Nee Amy and Dead Cat Bounce. The selection has had a few chances now but she has not done much wrong on her last two starts. This step-up in trip should suit and we are prepared to give her another opportunity to lose her maiden tag. Why Nee Amy chased home Hawkspring in this grade last time and she is clearly capable of getting competitive again. However, Hawkspring is fairly exposed so the form is only moderate. Dead Cat Bounce remains unexposed and the race he ran in last time has worked out reasonably well so he is another that could be good enough to enter calculations. Barcode has had plenty of chances but he is eased in grade and this race will not take much winning so he could get involved at the finish. A moderate affair to kick-off the card and Flying Lady looks the safest option.
