(8)

Patty Patch^v²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S Donohoe| T: R Spencer| OR: 56

9/2

Hasn't built on promise from her debut last year and was unruly in the stalls before some late progress on most recent start. Respected still for connections at this level and possible extra furlong may help.

Form: 675-67

(9)

Mandarin Princess¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: P J McBride| OR: 55

9/2

Didn't improve on better run two starts back when well beaten again on AW last time. Inconsistent and unconvincing at this far.

Form: 050-858

(1)

Rosedale Topping^v⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: E F Vaughan| OR: 54

5/1

Had shown more encouragement before being well beaten last start. Needs to find improvement coming back in trip.

Form: 400-550

(5)

Gainsay²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 53

4/1

Had been tailed off on all three starts before improving out of all recognition when scoring at long odds on reappearance and handicap debut. Ran on late after slow start so only up 3lb for narrow success and extra furlong likely to be a plus.

Form: 080-1

(3)

Jazzy Girl²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: B G Powell| OR: 48

6/1

Yet to be placed in six starts but has run by far her best two races on her last two starts after breaking better and switching to front running tactics. Possible more to come at this trip and should make a bold bid.

Form: 00975-5

(2)

Calvin's Gal²³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Osborn⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 48

10/1

Stable debut but hard to recommend following three well beaten efforts at long odds last year.

Form: 006-

(4)

Banjo's Voice^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 45

6/1

First-time blinkers found big improvement but suited by pace bias in a slow time. Open to further progress but form may not stand up and drop in trip a question mark.

Form: 090-53

(6)

Pretty Pearl¹⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: M Harley| T: R Eddery| OR: 45

16/1

Had shown little in three starts as a juvenile but ran better on handicap debut over further. Step up required but drop in trip a positive and place possibilities.

Form: 798-4

Forecasts

Gainsay (4/1), Patty Patch (9/2), Mandarin Princess (9/2), Lulu Star (9/2), Rosedale Topping (5/1), Jazzy Girl (6/1), Banjo's Voice (6/1), Calvin's Gal (10/1), Pretty Pearl (16/1)

GAINSAY should improve for this extra distance and in a low grade handicap could well prove nicely handicapped against some moderate rivals. Jazzy Girl is starting to get to grips with things and should run a solid race again from the front while Lulu Star and Pretty Pearl ran better last time and are in the mix.
