In the claimer, My Mirasol is selected ahead of Global Traffic and Stars Above. Dropped into claiming company for the first time, Fruits d'Amour should be given some thought, while the first-time blinkered Global Traffic looks one of the more likely types in this sort of company but he is slightly worse off at the weights with My Mirasol based on recent mile Southwell form. Party Palace's overall form entitles her to plenty of respect, and she is closely weighted with Stars Above based on recent nine-and-a-half furlong course form. Both should b considered. As ever the betting might provide some further clues but, overall, we will still stick with My Mirasol.
