7/4
Had four wins during the winter including a C&D success in October. Probably found the combination of a busy campaign and a longer trip against her last time. Makes her comeback over her optimum trip and with a confirmed front-runner to set up the race for her.

11/4
Winner of three AW races but yet to score here (second twice) and 0-10 for this rider. Capable of snatching an easy lead but equally could set this up nicely for one of his rivals. The only runner in this lineup with winning form in this class.

11/8
Much improved over the past six weeks for the fitting of cheekpieces. Both victories have come when there has been give in the ground. Sent off at 100/1 for only AW start and sole attempt at this trip so impossible to gauge her effectiveness. Dam won over C&D and she comes here before a further 3lb rise in the weights takes effect.

Forecasts

French (11/8), Simply Me (7/4), Helfire (9/4), Stosur (11/4)

Verdict

Just the four runners for this intriguing race where tactics will be a factor. Stosur will make the running and, with three rivals who like to appear late, he could poach an unassailable lead. French is worth another try at this trip now that she is in better form. She is due to go up in the weights after this but there is a fear she may find this company too strong. Likewise Hellfire is yet to prove herself outside class five/six but arrives in good shape. As a strong traveller she will be suited by the presence of Stosur. SIMPLY ME has won four races this winter and her last run suggested she was ready for a break. All her victories have come at a lower level but she outclassed her rivals in the latest of these. Fresh from a break and, with the yard back amongst the winners in the past couple of weeks, she will take some beating in a race where she will get a good pace to aim at.
  1. Simply Me
  2. Stosur
  3. Helfire
