Miss Calculation⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 59| BF

5/1

Seventeen runs since her last win in 2021 but she's hinted at a revival of late, not enjoying a clear run when fourth of 11 to Cailin Saoirse in handicap at this C&D 44 days ago. Weighted to go well off a reduced mark.

Forecasts

Pessoa (3/1), Jupiter Express (5/1), Silver Dollar (5/1), Miss Calculation (5/1), Cailin Saoirse (13/2), Desert Dream (8/1), Healing Power (12/1), Al Suil Eile (14/1), Poet (40/1), Rajmeister (50/1)

MISS CALCULATION arrives on a long losing run but has fallen in the weights and signalled she's ready to go in again when fourth over C&D last time so gets the vote. In-form Al Suil Eile is next on the list now he reverts to 7f, with C&D winners Desert Dream and Pessoa both firmly in the picture in a competitive handicap.
