In depth
Verdict
Sandy Lady looks the pick on official ratings and was unlucky last time out over this course and distance. If getting a luckier run then she could be hard to beat with the excellent Dane O'Neill aboard. Stablemate My Lucy Locket could run her close if running up to the best of her form however she is not the most reliable of animals. Lakota Brave rarely runs a poor race on this surface and has to be in any shortlist. He goes well for this claimer and unlikely to be out of the first three though his price may be prohibitive.
