GOING: S(5)

Yewafilms Fillies & Mares BM56 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.40)  

Solid tempo with Juice Box driving forward f, joined by Eastern Odyssey and Remember Poppy pushing on from closer draws. Lots of win chances. REMEMBER POPPY (4) has run well in three runs since a win and looks close to finding another. On speed and fought on well last time and expected to take beating again. LEGACY BEL (5) is another who continues to race well. Just missed out last time and despite the draw rates a leading player. TRAK CHILLER (7) resumed from a spell over 1100m and powered home late to just miss. Fitter and can go one better. JUICE BOX (3) is better than last start on soft ground. Has good early pace and the claim here and can give a sight. BELDARI (1) was strongly fancied on a wet track on debut and after settling just off the pace lifted strongly to score. Firmer track here and big weight but can only be improved and no surprise if she makes it two from two. SUGGESTED PLAY: Staying with Remember Poppy.
