talkSPORT Winter Oaks Trial Irish EBF Fillies' Handicap

(3)

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 97| C

Course winner. 4½ lengths eighth of 12 to Pennymoor in listed race at this course (13f, AW, 12/1) 51 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down in trip and this should be easier.

Sea Tsarina¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87| C

Dual novice winner this summer (latterly over 1m here). Easy to back and could only run to a similar level when seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, heavy) in September but it remains early days and longer trip may bring about some improvement.

Form: 1317

Queen Of Ipanema^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 83| D

Big improver since switched to handicaps/equipped with tongue tie, completing a rapid 5-timer at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 2 weeks ago. Unlikely she's reached her limit just yet and she has to be high on the shortlist again.

Form: 911111

Sweet Fantasy^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: F Norton| T: R M Beckett| OR: 80

Consistent filly who deservedly opened her account (in first-time cheekpieces) at Southwell (12f) 11 days ago, wandering briefly 1f out but ultimately doing it readily. Expected to go well again now she's off the mark.

Form: 223421

Tequilamockingbird¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 79| CD

3 wins from 9 runs this year. 11/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 18 days ago, just holding on. Handicapper applies a little more pressure, but her consistency is hard to knock.

Tahasun^v²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 74| CD

Off the mark in a Chelmsford maiden (10f) in June and stepped up further equipped with a visor of late, digging deep under pressure when landing a C&D handicap by a neck from Sweet Fantasy 4 weeks ago. More on her plate up in grade but she's clearly thriving.

Forecasts

Queen Of Ipanema (2/1), Sea Tsarina (9/4), Sweet Fantasy (6/1), Tequilamockingbird (6/1), Tahasun (8/1), Viola (10/1)

QUEEN OF IPANEMA has improved plenty for the switch to handicaps/fitting of a tongue tie, completing a rapid 5-timer over further at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago. It's unlikely she's reached her limit just yet and she looks sure to go well again. Sweet Fantasy and Tequilamockingbird head up the dangers.
