|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from You're So Special, Canford Queen and Free World. SMASHING (1) has good recent form lines to her credit. She raced from a handy position over this distance on the polytrack last time, but found one too good on the day. She has won once, finished second once and third twice from five starts on this course. She may be the horse to side with. THREAD OF LIFE (4) ran a good race when second over 1100m on the polytrack last time. She drops in class and must be included in all bets. HUGSANDHIGHFIVES (7) is better than her last start run on the polytrack would suggest as she raced wide around the turn. She won her penultimate outing over this course and distance. Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle and if fit, she should be finishing in the money. DRESSEDTOTHENINES (3) finished seventh over 1000m at Fairview All Weather last start. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
