In depth

Verdict

This is not as strong a maiden as the previous race and GRANDMAS DREAM can reap the benefit. She was thought good enough to contest a couple of Group races in six starts as a two-year-old and can open her account in this company for new trainer Jim Best. Collateral form with Mandy's Hero suggests Pineapple Pete has the beating of Welsh Inlet, but Beautiful Day and Midnight Trader will need to step up on what they've shown so far to figure. The newcomer Bambika is a half-sister to no-less than seven winners and is one to keep an eye on.
