OVER SIXTY was declared to run at Taunton on Tuesday, where she was an beaten into second at odds-on and it does remain to be seen if she takes her chance once again in such a short period of time. If she does then she looks a class above her rivals and is taken to win at the expense of Moonlit Path and Super Martina. The selection has run well all season winning at Southwell on her seasonal reappearance and she was then not disgraced in defeat thereafter in some top quality races. She came unstuck at Taunton on Tuesday but if her connections do give her another chance she will not have to be at her best to win here. Moonlit Path looks an interesting newcomer from the in form Nicky Henderson stable. She is a nicely bred filly by Shambo and the fact that all her stables newcomers are worth respecting means she is not out of it. Super Martins has done nothing wrong in her five races to date and continues to improve so has every chance of being in the shake up once again. However if Over Sixty does make the quick reappearance she will be difficult to beat.
