Classi Maureen is taken to turn the tables on Queen's Destiny, with Delta Lady and Elaala possibles for the frame. Classi Maureen was beaten a short-head by Queens Destiny when the pair met at Towcester 16-days ago, and on today's terms can be fancied to come out on top for her new trainer. She ran a blinder for connections on her first start for the yard, considering that she was out of the handicap, and off her correct weight here, and given that her main rival has to shoulder a penalty, Classi Maureen must be fancied to come out on top. Delta Lady was driven clear to score at Fakenham but might not like this track as much, while Elaala will at least strip fitter for her recent return round here on what was her first outing for John Stimpson. We much prefer the claims of Classi Maureen.
