Verdict

BLACKJACK (1) was responsible for a better performance last time out when third over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 7 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force once more. MR MIKI (7) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, finishing 21 metres away in third over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. MISS BRABANT (2) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1 ?m at Cambridge Raceway four weeks ago. MIKI MIRAGE (3) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 1 ¹/16m at Cambridge Raceway two runs back.
