Winner of two of his 11 starts, the Jeremy filly was completely outclassed when stepped up to Group 1 level, last time out, here, at the end of May in the Tattersalls Gold Cup. Back to a reasonable grade today, but still in the grips of the handicapper.

Forecasts

Tobacco Bay (7/1), Honor Oak (7/1), Gentil J (7/1), Jealika (15/2), Duchess Of France (8/1), Bainne (8/1), Oh Grace (10/1), Golden Dandy (12/1), Camellia Japonica (12/1), Midnitemudcrabs (12/1), Waitaki (14/1), Prove The Point (14/1), End Play (16/1), Idlers Dream (66/1)

Verdict

Prove The Point, Jealika and Bainne will relish the conditions, opting to come off a quick pace and doing their best work at the business end of the race, but, preference is for Dermot Welds, WAITAKI to take advantage of her low-mark, with End Play and Duchess Of France for the minor honours.
  1. Waitaki
  2. End Play
  3. Duchess Of France
