Verdict
Smart Lass was a long way behind Spanish Hustle at Hamilton in July but is something of a course specialist here. She was, however, a disappointing favourite at Ayr last month. Golden Valour does most of her racing at Ayr and is now 0-25 on Turf so BLUE ANTARES, ahead of Mike Smith’s gelding and Graces Quest here last month, looks the one to be on given he’s since run the in-form Edwina Sheeran to half-a-length at Ripon.
