GOING: G(4)

SDB BYRNE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH - F&M BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Expect a strong tempo from Rosie's Prophecy, Autumn Blonde and Light Foot who may have no option but to press on. JUDITH’S REVENGE (10) only just missed in the Guineas Prelude here last start and we’ll get an early read on that form earlier in the day. She’s a consistent filly who only needs to hold her form to be right in the finish again. BONNIE MURRINGO (5) warmed into it nicely at the death in town, sneaking home back to the inside. Gets a key switch to Schiller and looks a genuine winning chance. MICRO MAGIC (13) resumes for the Conners camp and has had two handy tune-ups in town. Her best figures from last prep put her right in the picture. TESSARION (17) stuck on soundly in the Prelude after her barnstorming home-track win the start prior. Her peaks measure up and she’s worth including. AUTUMN BLONDE (2) is a handy filly but faces a test under the big weight and from the wide alley. ROSIE’S PROPHECY (14) dug deep to score here last time. This is tougher, but she deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Judith's Revenge
