Verdict
An ordinary seller can go to Miss Good Time, who already has experience of this trip and can outgun Premier Times and Danehill Fairy, who look to be the best of the rest at this stage. The latter is being kept busy and her connections obviously think a race of this nature is a formality for her if the persevere. However, she has not looked to be the most resolute of characters in a finish and others make more appeal today. The same goes for Tip Toes, who comes a long way for this but has not really shown anything to merit strong support in her three previous efforts. The form of Mick Channon's juveniles is not what it has been in previous seasons and it will take a greatly improved effort from this one to even pay for the travelling expenses this afternoon. Therefore, we prefer to side with Miss good Time, as she ran a much better race than her finishing position would suggest last time. That was a much better performance than she had shown previously and Miss Good Time is given the benefit of the doubt to follow it up with a win now that she takes a slight drop in class.
