Verdict

SAFE HOUSE makes her debut at this track but the half-sister to a Graded dirt winner in America is expected to handle it. She got off the mark at Musselburgh last time with a subsequent winner behind and can follow-up on her handicap bow. Ursula is looking to end a long losing and should be doing so soon off her current mark while Golden Compass and Annie Walker are usually thereabouts at this level on the Polytrack. Sweetnessandlight saves her best for this surface though she's facing a tougher task than when victorious over C&D in May.
