This could end up being a very good day for Richard Fahey as we think his SHE'S IN THE MONEY can take this Handicap on her return leaving Ra Junior and Sendreni looking the dangers. With decent form in these conditions the pick races off the same mark has her neck defeat over a mile here on her last run. This step down in trip is an advantage so she looks to have a strong looking claim. Ra Junior is from another yard that have been sending out winners and he'll be strip fit for a run at Kempton in mid-march and this former Group Two contender looks to be competitively treated. Sendreni just missed out on his last run but despite course and distance form a win might be beyond his reach off this weight. Jim Goldie's Stellite has been running well off this sort of rating with limited returns so should be in the mix again but if returning in the form she left us She's In The Money looks a solid selection.
