Verdict
Another wide open affair rounds off the card and there is very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be My Sara, Bertrada and Mr Chocolate Drop and the narrow vote is given to My Sara. The selection won well last time out when beating Bertrada and although that rival is better off at the weights she won with plenty in hand and is taken to confirm her superiority over him. Mr Chocolate Drop won a poor race in good style last time out but he looks vulnerable under his penalty in a more competitive affair. Ballyshane Spirit has place claims on his best form but has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder, Go Dancing enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to My Sara who looked progressive last time out.
