It is very difficult to be confident about anything in this lowly apprentice handicap, but PERMANENT has at least shown a little dash in recent starts and might be good enough to land the spoils. Outstanding old-timer Megala has won mroe races than the other 14 horses put together and knows his job, so may yet be in with a shout at this level, while the three-year-old fillies Epsom Secret and Neptune Star have some hope of imporving with light weights to carry. Dr Goodhead is one of the few with potential to do better.
