Genuine tempo with Cashla Bay to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. LADY IRIS (10) is almost unbeaten after a narrow defeat last start at Listed level. Awkward draw in this but she can cope. Still the one to beat in this. WYNDSTORM (1) has drawn a wide gate as well. Can counter it. Quinella and trifecta must in this. CASHLA BAY (11) has kept improving in each start and won last time narrowly. Can handle dry and wet ground as well. Trifecta and first four chance in this. MAZINO (12) has run well in both of her runs so far. Well drawn today. Bred to win multiple times. Include her everywhere you can in this. DO YOU JUST (3) was just beaten fresh up here. Trifecta and first four must in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Iris is a win wager.
