Verdict
Mobo-Baco found just the in form Plausabelle a short head too good over course and distance in a non-selling handicap last time and is taken to go one better at the main expense of Sweetwater and Prince Prospect. The last mentioned showed improved form in a banded stakes race last time and could be running into form now but, along with the trio of Danger Bird, Danum and Theatre Lady, has to race from 1lb out of the weights proper. The bottom three in the handicap are all 6lbs wrong at the weights so this may not be as competitive as the numbers suggest and of more interest is Stef Liddiard's Sweetwater whop has been placed in each of his last four starts and is entitled to be thereabouts again. A market move for Another Con would be of interest while Zaffeu has slipped to a fair mark and is another to consider but Mobo-Baco is set to go up 2lbs in future handicaps and is taken to make the most of a favourable mark.
