Verdict

MACKEL SONNY (3) had been racing well and again performed admirably at the most recent appearance, making a long run from a fair way out but finding one better at this circuit and distance. That made it three placings on the trot so a win looks imminent. SECOND TO NUN (5) has been racing well, recording top-four results in all three starts since winning at this circuit and distance. Finished third at her latest appearance, beaten 4 metres. Big handicap but she is good enough to win this. BUSTER DAN (7) also comes from the ¼f mark but has claims off his win two back at this circuit and distance. FENOMENAL (4) will be fitter for recent racing and may be ready to show his best.
