Prize Money: $1,373

DROOPYS SCRIPT (5) followed a placing two back with a sound second, beaten 2.5 lengths, last start in a OR at Monmore over 480m (28.67) and looks overdue for a win. Drops a class and gets chance to find winning form. COPNEY QUEEN (4) boasts a strong record this journey with two wins and two minors from four tries. Placed last time (29.11) at Monmore in a OR, finishing second and beaten 7 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. DEFINITELY GONE (6) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Monmore in a handy 28.73 beating Holding Hollie. Capable of going well again. GOTHIC ABBESS (1) hit the frame latest (23.70) when second at Suffolk Downs in a OR. Has four wins already from this trap.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into second over 388m at Suffolk Downs. Heading in the right direction and well placed to fill another top-three spot.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 480m at Monmore in 29.11. Expected to go very well.
