Romantic Rival²²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey

22/1

Fairly useful filly. Won 9-runner maiden (2/1) at La Teste (9f, good). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving H-A. Pantall and this is asking a lot.

Forecasts

My Astra (5/4), Potapova (2/1), Roman Mist (9/2), Lola Showgirl (20/1), Romantic Rival (22/1), Flame of Freedom (33/1), Magnificence (80/1)

ROMAN MIST has placed form in this grade to her name and, following an excellent return to action over this C&D, everything looks in place for a big run. My Astra and Potapova probably have more to offer this term and look the main threats.
