In depth
Verdict
Urban Road finished runner-up over 6f here last week having finished ahead of Foreshadow when fourth over today’s trip earlier. But SWEETEST COMPANY improves with every start and, having placed over track and trip on her handicap bow, Ben Haslam’s filly gets the vote to open her account. Several are open to improvement handicapping for the first time including Phantasy Mac and Mister Falsetto with the latter preferred.
