Verdict
It's all come together for SPINATRIX recently and she goes from strength-to strength having landed a double when running out a nine length winner at Ayr last time. A penalty doesn't look like preventing Michael Dods' filly from landing a hat-trick. Another 6lb may not be enough to stop Mazovian from going close again either as he's dropped in class after a cosy win at Leicester, while both I Got You Babe and Ryedane have been competing in better company and better is expected from them.
