Loads of pressure, primarily from Stormy Day, Sister Golden Hair and Elegantrix. Very good race. STORMY DAY (6) is a promising filly unbeaten from two runs. Was a 1000m winner on debut then put away, then won over 1200m fresh. Fitter again and looks suited by the extra trip. Expected to measure up. ELEGANTRIX (1) is a talented filly who has earned top weight being Grade 1 placed and spent much of her career in tougher races. Led and was run down late fresh but fitter again and goes well here. Can go one better. PRETTY PERSUASIVE (4) was a fresh-up winner and then beaten a head last time. Won only try course and distance and looks a leading prospect. WARM RECEPTION (9) was far too good on debut when a four length winner then put away again. Sure to be much improved and expected to measure up.
