Shake Me Handy²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Teal

11/1

Sire has not been a hit at stud and this colt's debut hardly suggested he would be improving his numbers. Related to two winning sprinters and in a much weaker race this time over a shorter trip.

Form: 9-

Beg For Mercy²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater

33/1

Well beaten on both starts when finding little for pressure and hard to recommend on that evidence. Stable going through a lean spell of 148 days and 125 days without a winner.

Form: 90-

Thedevilinneville

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A West

12/1

Gelded son of Paco Boy out of an unraced mare from a good family. Yard have been struggling for winners and probably best watched for now.

Form:

Haitian Spirit³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G & J Moore

3/1

Daughter of Swiss Spirit who was a cheap purchase at 7,500 gns as a foal. Looked a bit one paced here last time but that was still a massive improvement on her debut.

Form: 05-

(6)

Haze⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole

10/3

Homebred full-sister to Group 3 Fred Darling Stakes winner Rimth. Definite promise on debut but she failed to progress next time. A two month break suggests there is a story to tell and she could bounce back in a terribly weak race.

Form: 40-

(5)

Moongazer

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J Fanning| T: C Hills

5/4

5,500 gns foal by top Australian sprinter Kuroshio out of a moderate dam who has produced a winner in Italy. Breeding suggests she is nothing out of the ordinary but, in a race as bad as this, she does not need to be.

Form:

Forecasts

Moongazer (5/4), Pacificadora (5/4), Haitian Spirit (3/1), Haze (10/3), Shake Me Handy (11/1), Thedevilinneville (12/1), Beg For Mercy (33/1)

Simon Dow has found an attractive opportunity for his relatively expensive filly PACIFICADORA to open her account. Her debut form took a knock when the runner-up was beaten here on Wednesday, but she showed enough to suggest she is on a different scale of ability to today's rivals. Haze looks the chief threat if reproducing her debut form, but the remainder have little to recommend them.
