First Furnishings Of Gorleston Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 17:31 | Winning time: 1m 23.56s

(1)

The Yellow Bus³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Bentley| T: M Wigham| OR: 71

4/1

Won what proved to be a weak maiden at Down Royal for David Wachman last summer. Showed signs on both starts for new stable that she would soon be repaying some of the 8,000 gns paid for her at Newmarket last October. Drops to a mark where she can be more competitive now.

Form: 22/10-55

(8)

Sister Dude¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J G Portman| OR: 68

14/1

Good winner of a 7f handicap at Ayr off a mark of 63 in September, ran well below that form in final start for Karl Burke at Redcar in November and far from out of the reckoning in reappearance for new trainer.

Form: 405810-

(5)

Fidelma Moon¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jordan Vaughan⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 67

11/2

Badly out of form at Beverley on recent reappearance, gives her a good deal to prove coming here and others make much more appeal.

Form: 32369-9

(7)

Sakhee's Jem^p¹⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 65

6/1

Was 2lb lower when winning on seasonal bow over 6f at this track last season, stays this extra furlong no problem and is one to note in the betting.

Form: 6/14773-

(4)

Fantasy Queen²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 63

7/2

Decent effort on reappearance at Kempton over this trip last month, finishing 3L third of 18. Yard are in better form now too and should be ready to go well in this.

Form: 14157-3

(3)

Wahiba⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 61

7/2

Hasn't shown an awful lot in three starts for the yard, often racing a bit keenly but has already tried as far as 1m3f and this drop back in trip looks an interesting move, despite breeding suggesting she needs further. Market support would be interesting.

Form: 33/3-06

(2)

Indigo Princess³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60

14/1

Without a win in ten starts and four most recent efforts have been particularly laboured, hard to fancy a turnaround on switch from AW to turf.

Form: 26-7652

(6)

Prisom¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 55

16/1

Won on debut at Wolverhampton in 2015 but all downhill since, and mark has fallen a stone since going handicapping. Not shown much recently and has plenty to find on form.

Form: 220860

Forecasts

Wahiba (7/2), Fantasy Queen (7/2), The Yellow Bus (4/1), Fidelma Moon (11/2), Sakhee's Jem (6/1), Indigo Princess (14/1), Sister Dude (14/1), Prisom (16/1)

Sakhee's Jem scored at this venue on her reappearance last season and is perfectly entitled to be in the mix once more from just 2lb higher now. Sister Dude might find that a change of scenery helps bring about a repeat of Ayr success in the autumn while Wahiba isn't discounted dropping back in distance. FANTASY QUEEN showed up well enough on reappearance at Kempton and with her trainer now in better form, is taken to come forward and grab this prize.
