      chased leaders to halfway

      In depth

      Verdict

      A moderate race to round off proceedings and Holly Golightley, Captain Crooner and Upstanding look the most likely players and we are with Holly Golightley. The selection has got plenty of early toe and if able to trap out smartly, she might just be able to make that factor to her game count. Captain Crooner has plenty of entries this week so it will be fascinating to see if he takes this engagement. Mel Brittain's string have shown well in recent days so Upstanding is worth more than a cursory glance in the market. Galley Slave is a long standing maiden. Orpen's Art produced a below par effort on his latest start and is one to have reservations about until the market suggests otherwise. The remainder look hard to enthuse about. Holly Golightley has a realistic chance if getting a soft lead and there is every chance of doing so here.
