Verdict
With plenty of these seemingly in the grip of the handicapper he vote goes to EUREKA MOMENT but only just with Brave Mave and Rawdon also looking dangerous. It's true the selection had very little to beat when breaking the maiden's tag last time but with a lot of the main rivals handicapped to the hilt and with no margin for error she looks fairly treated. Her handicap form before that victory is also solid enough and with improvement expected she can go on again on a surface which has already brought out her best. Brave Mave had to live up to her name to land a similar race over course and distance last time. Her mark has suffered to the tune of six pounds and with the margin so small last time that looks vital. Rawdon has been running well in some novice hurdle events and ran well on his last appearance on the level so he must be respected while Il Grande Ardone will win a race like this but needs a shorter trip so Eureka Moment can get in front again.
