MARGOT MAE 10/1
MARGOT MAE at 10/1, Mrs J. Harrington and Scott McCullagh, looks the most likely of these. He has the right side of the draw and is back quickly, ran 5 days ago.
The one worry is weakened last time.
ROMANCE rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — 1 run on soft or heavy, never won, never placed — and today is heavy.
