Verdict
My Sister's recent efforts don't inspire much confidence but she's back on a winning mark today. Overdante has only found one too good on two previous visits to the track and could figure if fully wound-up but Little Roxy is proving difficult to place, though was racing from a long way out of the handicap proper when fifth over C&D eight days ago. ON THE FEATHER is only a tentative selection as she has never been prolific but she did win over track and trip in October and has been placed twice since and the others are woefully out of form.
