GOING: G(4)

TBV Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes 1200m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Tobeornottobe has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. Handy little clash. AMEENA (4) is the boom horse. She couldn't have been much more impressive in two wins to date. Should be fine stepping to 1200m and will be well fancied. No knocks other than her short price. TOBEORNOTTOBE (3) has been good behind Hayasugi in the Blue Diamond lead ups. She didn't run in the G1 but was beaten narrowly by the winner and 1200m looks fine. Gives a sight. YES LULU (8) has placed in both starts to date, the latest behind Bold Bastille. In the mix. FLATTERED (2) could measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Ameena.
