Wee Mary^h⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 52

13/2

Posted some good efforts without winning for Rebecca Menzies and she shaped better than her position suggests for her new stable when eleventh of 13 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 59 days ago, not knocked about having been short of room 2f out. Interesting off a slipping mark.

3/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 25/1) 13 days ago, always holding on. Up 2 lb but not taken lightly in her current mood.

16/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 50/1, first run since leaving Gary & Josh Moore when last of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 14 days ago. A big step forward is required.

Forecasts

Lady Bouquet (5/2), Shatin Venture (11/4), Ramon Di Loria (7/2), Azucena (13/2), Tickets (8/1), Wee Mary (10/1), Desert Master (11/1), Okami (20/1), Nazca (25/1)

A trappy handicap in which it could pay to side with WEE MARY to build on the promise shown on her first run for Jim Goldie over C&D and finally get off the mark. Recent Wolverhampton scorer Lady Bouquet rates the obvious danger, while Azucena, Shatin Venture and Ramon Di Loria can fight it out for minor honours.
