Turners Fillies' Handicap

Off time: 14:16 | Winning time: 1m 37.04s

(9)

Lady Alara¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills| OR: 93| D

11/1

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Ascot (8f, firm, 25/1) 14 days ago by 2 lengths from Maggie's Way, keeping on gamely. Likely to prove vulnerable after a rise.

Form: 38-8001

Maggie's Way¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 91| D

6/1

Made a successful reappearance in 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (1m, heavy) in May and has generally remained in form since, shaping well (travelled smoothly) when second to Alvara at Ascot a fortnight ago. Could reverse form with that rival.

Form: 6-19262

(5)

Don't Tell Claire^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 87| CD

9/1

C&D winner who is in better form than recent finishing positions suggest, looked after once her chance had gone at Ascot a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces go back on and she's hard to rule out.

Form: 632358

Shining Jewel³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 91| D

11/4

Well-bred filly who got her career back on track returning from a break in a novice at Chelmsford last time, forging clear from the front. More to come and worth a chance to follow up.

Form: 3-41

(6)

Canoodled¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 85| CD

11/2

Bounced back to form with success in 9-runner handicap on July course in August and shaped as if still ahead of her mark when third at Haydock last time, having to pick way through. Should make a big impact if things drop right.

Form: 1-63813

(2)

Eximious³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 88

25/1

Salisbury maiden winner last September. In good form this term prior to a blip at York last time. Could bounce back but others are more persuasive.

Form: 10-2030

(10)

Five Towns¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| D

8/1

Still low mileage and confirmed the encouragement of her previous outing when scoring comfortably at Windsor last time. Open to further improvement and looks a serious player.

Form: 591-521

(7)

High Spirited¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: H Candy| OR: 83| D

6/1

Belardo filly who showed improved form to get off the mark in 13-runner maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) on her return in May. Right back on track despite missing the break when fourth at Ascot last time and may well have a bigger performance in her.

Form: 73-174

(4)

Speriamo²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: P J McBride| OR: 77| C| D

11/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark when making all on the July course a month ago. Seen to maximum effect there, though, and she's not an obvious one for the follow-up.

Form: 1-48001

(3)

Azahara Palace¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: David Probert| T: H Morrison| OR: 76| D

18/1

Progressive filly who made it three from her last four in comfortable fashion at Chepstow last time. Prominent racing style should lend itself to this track, so she's a definite player.

Form: 831121

Forecasts

Shining Jewel (11/4), Canoodled (11/2), Maggie's Way (6/1), High Spirited (6/1), Five Towns (8/1), Don't Tell Claire (9/1), Lady Alara (11/1), Speriamo (11/1), Azahara Palace (18/1), Eximious (25/1)

Having opened her account in dominant style at Chelmsford last time, SHINING JEWEL is well worth a chance to go in again with few miles on the clock. Five Towns is another with plenty of potential and she's regarded as a danger along with the thriving Canoodled.
