Verdict
The Paul Keane-trained Bathwick Annie has really taken well to chasing and the progressive eight-year-old has been found a good opportunity to expand upon her profile today. Annie Byers and Standing Bloom head the list out of the others who are worth considering when compiling each-way alternatives, while Sharp Single has dropped a few hints of ability in his races this season and could also go well at a price. However, they will all have to find a little more than they shown to date if they are going to overhaul Bathwick Annie and the Sula Bay mare is very hard to oppose as she bids to the three-timer. The trip, course and distance should all suit her style of running so Bathwick Annie is a confident choice to make a bold bid today.
