Race Tip

SALLYVILLE LADY (8) has made a good impression in two qualifying novice hurdles securing a rating to go handicapping. This good winner of a point to point cannot be ruled out for the Skelton yard. HARD DEALT (9) ran with credit past two starts tackling similar contests finishing 2L behind the same opponent on both occasions. Might be suited by this test and rates highly. DRAMATIC ENCORE (3) was comfortably accounted for at Sandown in December. Freshened since and with cheek pieces applied for the first time can be given another chance. In form rivals PISMO BEACH (4) and MASKED DANCE (2) are warrant consideration.
