Verdict
My Mirasol has obvious claims in this company and is given another chance to shine; while Jemima Godfrey and Mick Is Back are others to place on stand by in case the selection fluffs her lines near the finish again. Mick Is Back seems to have got the hang of racing in blinkers and rates as a threat at this level. However, he is not the greatest of battlers and his 3lb claimer will need to keep him on the ball when push comes to shove. The David Evans-trained gelding is well drawn, though, and would be dangerous to underestimate him today. Jemima Godfrey had to be rousted along by Tom Quealy when she won at Lingfield a fortnight ago and is another that needs her mind making up for her. Still, this is a weak contest and she has very little to find if she is going to play a leading role here. Nevertheless, My Mirasol has the edge in terms of over all profile and, even though she finds it hard to get her head in front and stay there, she will rarely be presented with a better opportunity to add to her tally. The daughter of Primo Valentino goes well at this track and has the speed to ovecome her poor draw. However, My Mirasol's lack of resolution means only a minimum stakes play is advised.
