Bondi Girl^v1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 62| BF| D

15/2

Confirmed previous promise to belatedly get off the mark at Leicester (6f) in July, edging right last ½f but always holding on. Never saw things out so well back at that venue over 7f 9 days ago and return to this trip rates a plus.

Imperial Khan⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60

15/2

Creditable third of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Chelmsford (5f) 7 days ago, no extra final 100 yds having been pestered early. Step up in trip needs to bring about some improvement.

Manettino¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 58

9/2

10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago, weakening final 1f. Now operating from career-low mark and he's still low-mileage on all weather.

Viewfromthestars^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: R A Teal| OR: 55

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, shaped well without being seen to best effect when third of 8 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 13 days ago, headway when short of room over 1f out. Likely he can do better still.

Form: 0-653

Brazen Diamond⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: R Brisland| OR: 53| C

10/11

Brazen Beau filly who showed promise in maidens and duly took a sizeable step forward to make a winning handicap debut here (7f) 8 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that and she should prove tough to beat dropped back to sprinting.

Form: 3251

Huntsman's Moon¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

40/1

Last of 6 in handicap (17/2) at Brighton (1m) 12 days ago, headed under 2f out and dropping away. Drops back in trip now but others arrive with much more pressing claims.

Forecasts

Brazen Diamond (10/11), Manettino (9/2), Viewfromthestars (13/2), Bondi Girl (15/2), Imperial Khan (15/2), Huntsman's Moon (40/1)

BRAZEN DIAMOND took a marked step forward to make a winning handicap debut over 7f here 8 days ago and, unpenalized for that success, she should prove tough to beat dropped back to sprinting. Bondi Girl and Viewfromthestars may pose the chief threats.
