16.05 Newbury: Class 3 Nursery, 7f - Polarisation: Won Ayr maiden nicely drawing well clear inside final furlong. Things went too quickly nto in hot handicap. Should be suited by additional furlong. Ground unknown.
Silver Quay: Good winner at Salisbury, Competitive in much higher class lto, fine performance. Not sure if drop in trip will suit, but also not impossible to do so on soft ground to suit.
Harlequin Striker: Got finally off the mark in maiden lto at Epsom. Overcoming wide draw and won well from front. Opening mark looks fair. Soft ground a question mark but looks big and scopy.
L'Etacq: Won 5f Handicap at Brighton, not up to it subsequently. Hard to fancy here.
Little Palaver: Still maiden, decent efforts in all starts, needs to improve on first Handicap start. Mark looks fair.
Looking Good: Fair maiden form, improved for step up in trip to 7f at Sandown, came with big run approaching final furlong when badly hampered. Deserves another chance of 1lb lower.
Verdict: Hannon's Silver Quay seems the pick on form and might well turn out too good for this lot, however the drop in trip might count against him. Polarisation is better than when seen last time, the ground is a question mark though. Overall it looks an open enough race and that gives the bottom weight Looking Good a chance to feature strongly. This Makfi filly was unlucky on her latest run when she was coming with a strong run just to be badly hampered in the closing stages. The mark looks fair enough and she could easily turn out to be better than the mark of 70, what she is rated currently.
Looking Good @ 11/2 Ladbrokes – 2pts win
