Verdict
RED FAMA can land his hat-trick as he bids to defy a six pound penalty with both Hawk Mountain and Lindy Lou worth noting. The selection posted back to back victories at Beverly and connections are keen to get another run into him before the handicapper gets a grip of him. This will not be easy for him but if repeating his current form he could prove difficult to beat. Hawk Mountain is ten pounds higher since winning at Nottingham recently. He has every chance of being in the shake up once again but life will now be tough. Lindy Lou caught the eye when running a personal best at Yarmouth last time out finishing second of twelve. She is only one pound higher in the weights and if improving again she can be a threat. But for the winner we return to Red Fama.
