Verdict

SAXON GRACE shaped with plenty of promise when third at Hamilton a week ago and is unexposed beyond 7f so could prove too good for Park Lane Penny and Here Comes Louie.

4	Previously a sprinter, stepped up to 9f without headgear and shaped very well when third of 8 in a handicap at Hamilton 11 days ago. Raced freely and failed to get a clear run 2f out but still wasn't beaten far at the finish and she looks up to exploiting this mark so is one to take seriously. 1st Pick 4 Saxon Grace (Ire) Jockey: Shane Gray Trainer: Daragh Bourke J: Shane Gray T: Daragh Bourke	100	-	-	-	29%
