Verdict

Just eight take to the track for this handicap and we think SINGORA LADY is capable of following up on her recent course and distance win at the main expense of Sairaam and Aquarian Dancer. The Paul Midgley trained selection has been finishing well after giving herself plenty to do in her recent starts, hadn't won in almost two years but everything went right for her this time and the rapid pace enabled her stamina to come into play. The slight rise in the weights should be of no concern and a second win of the month for the filly looks likely. Sairaam was an unlucky fifth when last seen. She took a slip at the final bend after running well throughout. Although she is yet to make the minors so far in her career she should have a much easier time of it here and a finish just behind the selection doesn't look beyond the lightly raced filly. Aquarian Dancer is another who has never made the minors but again that should change amongst this lowly company. A market check is strongly advised for this one but we will stick with Singora Lady.
