Verdict
COMMUNITY was beaten a length by Storm Runner over C&D last month and the latter has subsequently won again. Jamie Osborne's mare had Gallantry well behind last time and can return to winning ways in this. Silly Billy wasn't beaten far over 7f here on his latest start but has yet to win over today's distance while though My Scat Daddy finished runner-up here on a couple of occasions in December, he never looked like catching the winner on either occasion. Salient finished closer at this track last time and may figure if first-time blinkers have the desired effect.
