In depth

Verdict

Soviet Palace has been well held in handicaps of late but looks worth another chance dropped into claiming company and dropped in trip to six furlongs, getting the vote ahead of Goodbye Cash and Another Genepi. The last mentioned has been running consistently well in better races than this of late and should be thereabouts again but she is probably better over further. Sir Douglas has given little sign of encouragement since winning a claimer here two months ago, while Green Pirate is a consistent performer but faces a stiff task at the weights. Goodbye Cash has every chance at the weights but is hard to back with confidence on recent form and preference is for the well treated Soviet Palace.
