Verdict

FIVE MONKEYS (4) finished second at this track over 1 ¼m last time out, disappointing backers who took the short price. Finds a tougher race but a return to winning form is not out of the question. SO MYSTIFYING (7) failed to flatter last time out when fifth, beaten 50 metres, over 1 ¼m here. Capable of running a much better race. VALENTINA SHEVCHENKO (2) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1 ¼m at this circuit a couple of days ago. One for the multiples. SCOOTS (6) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1 ?/16m at this course. Include in calculations.
