Verdict

RAGTIME LADY had Candy Bar (third) behind when she was denied by a head in second on her latest outing and she can confirm her authority over that rival to go one better. Evita is another to consider.

Has won eight races from 5f to 1m. A winner at 18-1 at Fair Grounds over 1m on his latest outing earlier this month, beating Keys Included by a head. Unlikely to be sent off at such rewarding odds this time.
