We finish with a fillies handicap where after victory on her debut in these ranks last time we feel AIR MAZE is still well treated and is duly given the verdict in preference to Royal Superlative and Salybia Bay is an interesting runner from a stable going well. The selection followed up a maiden victory by just getting home in a girls only handicap last time. She was all out to win that day so her four pound ratings rise could be seen as a concern but she is still unexposed and looks to be improving with every run. Royal Superlative looks to have a little to do off of top-weight but having only just missed out on victory on her handicap bow last time she should go well again with her conditional pilot negating her mark rise. Salybia Bay is now back to the rating that saw her just miss out when racing against the boys in April and with Richard Hannon's string in such fine fettle she can't be ignored and looks cracking value for a place. Chadwell Spring, Eurotanz, Colangnik aren't completed weighted out of proceedings but Air Maze is looking progressive and can make it two from two in handicap company.
