5/2

Kodiac half-sister to 1m winner Jibber Jabber and 2-y-o 5f winner Sea Breezing. Impressive start when winning 6-runner newcomers race at Saint-Cloud (4.5f, heavy) by 5 lengths from a next-time-out winner, leading over 1f out and quickening clear. Proven in the mud so solid claims.

Time Test filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Another Thought. Dam unraced. Became the third winning 2-y-o newcomer for her stable when overcoming a slow start in 14-runner novice at Bath 16 days ago, well on top finish. Clocked a good time that day and beat a subsequent winner, so lots to like.

Forecasts

Betty Clover (5/2), Convo (5/2), Running Queen (10/3), Royal Equerry (9/2), Emporess (12/1), Fregola (12/1), Spring (18/1), Piranha Rama (50/1)

CONVO was a wide-margin maiden winner under similar conditions at Saint-Cloud 6 weeks ago so shades the vote over Betty Clover, who clocked a decent time when beating a subsequent winner in good style at Bath. All 3 newcomers are in receipt of weight, with Royal Equerry looking the pick before market clues.
