In depth
Verdict
Sister Gee has taken on much better opposition over course and distance and will appreciate this lesser company, she is fully expected to win this at the expense of Bond Finesse and Kumala Ocean. Reg Hollinshead's filly finished third to the smart Comic Strip here on only her second outing and followed that with a decent effort when runner up to the Godolphin runner Satsoof. With nothing even resembling that sort of calibre in today's field Sister Gee must hold very strong claims. Bond Finesse has been taking on much better opposition as well and should go close if handling this surface. Kumala Ocean is from a yard that thrives over the winter and looks best of the others following two very good runs behind Secret Pact at Redcar. The others make little appeal and Sister Gee, with her course experience, is the one that gets our vote.
