Verdict

MISS LOTTIE (8) has won just one of 19 but has a further ten minors and a few fourths as well. Never far away and looks well placed here. Overdue and gets her chance. HUSTLE (4) looks a big danger. Has finished seventh last two when winding up hard and gets Allen back on and the blinkers as well. Gets a chance to find winning form. PRANCING QUEEN (3) was a close-up third fresh then sixth last time a few lengths away. At her top now and can bounce back. ZOUSINGER (1) was solid fresh and strips fitter. Has the claim and drops down the rails for this so should enjoy a soft run. One of the better hopes on best figures. SWEET 'N' SPICY (7) ran a much improved race second-up and is a third-up winner. Will be doing best work late.
