5/1

Must have thrived through the winter as she stepped up considerably when 20/1 at Salisbury (7f). The runner-up has gone well since and she looks fairly weighted.

Procedure (5/2), Curious Fox (3/1), Rux Ruxx (7/2), Smooth Sailing (5/1), Savannah Beau (6/1), One More Chance (7/1), Deciding Vote (8/1)

Nothing really leaps out in this but PROCEDURE has improved on her last few starts and is down in both grade and the weights. Smooth Sailing won a small race last time but is on a good mark if making further progress over a shorter trip. Deciding Vote represents a yard that have won this previously and had the second last year. Her chance is not obvious on current form, but she is nicely treated if anywhere near her best.
