Verdict
Plenty of these come here open to improvement but it may be worth chancing Officer's Pink, who gets all the allowances in difficult race to get to grips with. In The Pink, Boavista and Bahamian Belle are others to place on the shortlist for when the betting market opens. However, Officer's Pink has been holding her own in similar events of late and deserves a change of fortune after going close on several occasions. The faster ground should be in her favour today and the Paul Cole-trained daughter of Grand Lodge can finally start paying her way if all goes well today.
