SHE'S A SHAW THING is the recommendation with Dougie Peel and Smalljohn likely to run her close. David Evans' filly is interesting now dropped in class as her season has seen her campaigned in some of the better quality juvenile contests in the calendar. If she acts on the surface, she will be difficult to beat. Dougie Peel has been ultra consistent at this grade. He has got a better draw than stablemate, Island Chief. Smalljohn dotted up in a similar race last week. The grade of opposition on this occasion looks much tougher. Woolston Ferry has always looked as if seven furlongs should suit so make a careful note of his price in the market. Invincible Brave was worryingly put in this grade on introduction by Richard Fahey. Polly's Choice is poorly drawn. Accomplishment is bred to need further and has been stepped up in trip following an inauspicious career over the minimum. She's A Shaw Thing is our idea of the most likely winner.
