Shepherd Market²⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 96

2/1

Showed promise on her debut and duly built on that when winning over 7f (soft) on her second start. Produced her best effort on her final start of the year when 2nd in a Listed race (ran around under pressure); improvement to come.

Form: 4122-

Feline Groovy³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas

9/4

Lot to like about her initial effort at Newmarket in a 1m maiden looking as though the race would bring her on having travelled well. The form has already been given some substance and in receipt of weight she's a danger.

Form: 2

Inpromptu²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian

16/1

Has an appealing pedigree and matched that appeal with a good effort on debut despite looking green and having to wait for a run at the finish. In good hands and there's likely to be plenty more to come from her.

Karlyhamilton^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: D Loughnane

100/1

Makes her debut here and looks to have been given a tough start having only cost €2,000 as a yearling. Does have some winning relations but hard to see her being competitive on debut.

Labrega²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

9/2

Improved from first to second run some six months apart although she still has something to learn and another experience won't be at all lost on her. Took some time to get going over 1m last time and further is likely to suit in time.

Form: 6-2

Mystical Moon

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: D C Griffiths

66/1

Yard not known for this sort especially on debut. Half-sister to several winners including a useful one in Toast Of The Town; others make more appeal.

Nkosikazi³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: B J Meehan

11/2

Stables runners usually need their debut and that was the case with this one although she ran to a decent level and showed enough to be able to win a race. Will continue to improve although this experience may be needed also.

Form: 4

Watheeqa²¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Varian

12/1

Pedigree looks one more for stamina than speed so her first run over 7f on the AW should be marked as a decent one. Not knocked about at all and will repay that kindness in time over longer trips than today.

Forecasts

Shepherd Market (2/1), Feline Groovy (9/4), Labrega (9/2), Nkosikazi (11/2), Orsera (11/2), Watheeqa (12/1), Inpromptu (16/1), Mystical Moon (66/1), Karlyhamilton (100/1)

Some very decent fillies on show here who have already attained a good level of form and Sheperd Market sets the standard with her runner-up slot in a Listed race standing out. However, she does need to be ready to go and FELINE GROOVY in receipt of weight and having had a more recent run looks a danger from a yard who do well with this sort. Orsera is another winner in the field although her bigger penalty does look to give her a tough task. Labrega and Inpromptu are two other that can play a part in whet looks to be a useful novice.
