Rock Melody²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 84| D

10/11

Showed plenty of speed when belying odds of 16/1 on debut at Redcar (6f). 5¼ lengths tenth of 15 to System in listed race at Newmarket (6f) 23 days ago, doing too much too soon. Back down in grade.

7/1

Much improved when landing 8-runner maiden at this C&D (soft, 9/2) 14 days ago. Rider's claim offsets penalty and there is more to come from her.

Forecasts

Rock Melody (10/11), Typewriter (3/1), Fast Response (7/1), Little Wendy (12/1), Rita's Wish (14/1), Daiquiri Francais (18/1), Torious (33/1), Glittering Grace (50/1), Ardita (125/1), True Company (250/1), Fontana Del Moro (250/1)

This could be fought out by the two previous winners, with FAST RESPONSE fancied to take another step forward and follow up her C&D success from a fortnight ago. Rock Melody has her sights lowered and should bounce back to form. Typewriter is an interesting newcomer for Andrew Balding, who has had a good campaign with his 2-y-os.
