Desert Illusion^v⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Molly Presland⁽⁷⁾| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 61

12/1

In first-time visor, run best excused when ninth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm, 11/1) 5 days ago, bumped start. Had been in good form previously, so she can bounce back to get off the mark.

Forecasts

San Francisco Bay (7/4), Spirit Of Breeze (3/1), Irish Dessert (9/2), Senor Pockets (7/1), Desert Illusion (12/1), Savannah Smiles (14/1), Goose Rock (22/1), Bala Hatun (25/1), Gonzaga (28/1)

DESERT ILLUSION is better judged on her previous placed efforts having been bumped at the start at Windsor 5 days ago, so she can resume her progress to get off the mark this time around. San Francisco Bay arrives in good form and is feared most with cheekpieces now applied, while Spirit of Breeze also merits consideration.
