Weak-looking maiden race, and this filly sets the standard on form, rated 80. From a top trainer and jockey combo. Looks to have been well placed to win now after four starts, improving each run. Close third latest when tried in a handicap, giving weight away. Now back in maiden company off the same weights.

Not easy to assess, but could be on a lenient opening mark now going into its first handicap. Ran better than the finishing position last time in a maiden race behind higher-rated horses. A capable 7 lb apprentice ride is another edge.

Drops back to 7f where the sole win came and looks a consistent type to win more races. Could get a second win now with race conditions to suit. Not beaten far last time when backed to win with an apprentice riding. Now with Chris Hayes booked, a top jockey for this track, he catches the eye.

Could race come down to the top two in the betting? My preference is for Johnny Murtagh's 3-y-o Sparky Sparky, who improved on debut last year and was runner-up 29 days ago at this track over 5f. She can improve, and stepping up to 6f looks likely to suit her better. She ran well on soft ground and gets the same today. Big danger is Cool Azul.
