Verdict
Are They Your Own was staying on strongly when just failing to get up in a novices’ handicap at Ffos Las and wouldn’t need much improvement to make an impact here but preference is for the experienced MUWALLA, who has returned to form this summer. He was narrowly beaten at Perth in a better race than this last Sunday, and can go one better here off a handy mark. Royal Plaza has potential but was well beaten last time and Boss Des Mottes hasn’t been able to take advantage of a favourable mark this year.
