Verdict
Doralee faces a tougher assignment back in handicap company after winning a classified race at Redcar, so another chance goes to GOLDEN RAINBOW. Rebecca Menzies' sprinter returns to the minimum trip 5lb lower than when finishing third at Thirsk in June. The first two home have subsequently franked that form and a bold bid is anticipated from the son of Havana Gold. Beaumadier and Sixcor are others to consider.
Expert View Verdict
BEAUMADIER was beaten just a neck last twice and is back on workable mark, he has only won once but is in good form and should be thereabouts once more. Doralee did get her head in front last time in good fashion, she needs to confirm that form back in handicap company here and has fair claims to do so given the nature of that win, but has gone up 8lb for that win which tempers enthusiasm somewhat. Golden Rainbow was stretched by 6f last twice and should do better back down in trip where all seven of her wins have come.
