ALLOWDALE POPPY (6) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (27.84) at this track in A3 over 450m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit. Looks to have an edge on most of these. LINTON RALPH (3) hit the frame with a narrow second two runs back then claimed an A3 by 3 lengths at this track over 450m (27.64) last time. Hard to knock winning form and expected to measure up despite the tougher grade. EMERS NIAMH (1) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at her last three starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when second in an A2 at this track (27.97). Must include in calculations. HELICOPTER LOTTY (2) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance.
