GOING: S(5)

SAVE THE DATE NORTHAM CUP 26 OCT MAIDEN 1300m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 7.70)  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Rare Honor. ANKAREEDA (9) came off a Lark Hill trial win and was narrowly beaten first up here as favourite. Maps well and keeps the gun jockey. Strips fitter briefly freshened and is likely to have them covered. DIAMONDS'N'RUBIES (8) has been narrowly beaten here at both starts this preparation, bet a short-priced favourite in both. Has an inside gate today and will be further improved. She shapes the danger. MAJESTIC PRINCESS (7) resumed here and was cruelled by a wide barrier. She brought strong form to that and the longer sprint should suit. Chris Parnham sticking aboard is a positive and the mare has claims. GALILEA (5) resumes and owns a Lark Hill trial. She can come back better and may be the best of the remainder. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Ankareeda.
