Verdict

MARILYN'S EDGE (4) presents third up here having atoned for a narrow defeat first up as a short priced favourite, coming clear to score by half a length at Kilmore in a Class 1. She's a speedy mare so back to 5f will be no issue and this looks a very winnable affair. DEMOJO (1) is racing well and looks the danger. He won well two back before another solid effort here over 6f. Off a let up this time but has upside and can get the job done late. LIMBERING (6) resumes. She's an 8yo mare who doesn't win out of turn but her best form is quite good for a race like this, albeit over a bit further. Drawn well and can run well at odds. FIRST DIVISION (8) broke through for a narrow win last time, her fourth as a 7yo mare. Not hopeless again. THE WAYFARER (5) next best.
