Verdict
MARY HELEN is given another chance to prove she can win a seller of this standard but she is only a marginal call in preference of Alphacino and Bathwick Gino. The selection has looked mildly progressive in three starts with her best run to date coming last time out in one of these when just held for third with the winner proving far to classy for them all. That form has been franked by the winner, Anjomarba, and puts her ahead of rival Alphacino. That one was well beaten Ajomarba giving him a bit to find on the pick based on raw form. His performances before that were promising for this level and he is the highest rated here. Bathwick Gino shaped has if this step up in trip would suit after he ran on well to grab fourth place of 10 runners over the minimum trip last time out. The form has worked out nicely from that and he should go better here. The formlines from Highcliffe Bridge's last run has her closely matched with the pick so a challenge isn't out of the question while Silly Breeze has just half a length to find on the selection after their last encounter. As sellers go this is as competitive as it gets with Mary Helen scoring a marginal vote.
