In depth
Verdict
Busy Bimbo won an amateurs race off today's mark last year and has been thereabouts of late while Saxonette still carries a penalty for beating Ya Boy Sir, Tadalavil and CALYPSO MUSIC over track and trip earlier in the month. But the latter was making her handicap debut on that occasion and has more scope than most of these. Jim Goldie's filly gets a tentative vote with Oil Strike another to consider off a decent mark on only his third start of the year.
