She's A Mirage¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

Form: 6

Forecasts

Remarkable Force (5/2), Al Dasim (11/4), Chateau (11/4), She's A Mirage (7/2), Ansani (12/1)

The pair with a run under their belts finished down the field on debut so a chance is taken on REMARKABLE FORCE making a winning start and providing Alice Haynes with a third 2-y-o winning newcomer this season. Second choice is She's A Mirage, who was only just getting the hang of things by the finish when sixth at Newmarket just under a fortnight ago, with Chateau next on the list.
