Jacquelina³^{(ex 10)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56| CD

5/4

Arrives at the top of her game, completing a hat-trick (under 5 lb penalty) when taking 8-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft, 9/4) 3 days ago, well on top finish. Further 5 lb penalty to carry now but holds strong claims nonetheless.

22/1

Tumbled down the weights and returned to form when second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 16/1) 8 days ago. Remains to be seen if she can build on that, though.

Forecasts

Jacquelina (5/4), My Genghis (9/2), Notre Maison (6/1), Rhubarb (8/1), Savannah Smiles (10/1), Louis Treize (12/1), Diamond Cottage (16/1), Colors Of Freedom (22/1), Darkened Edge (25/1), Second Collection (40/1)

JACQUELINA is thriving and had something in hand when completing the hat-trick at Brighton earlier this week. She is taken to score again, Rhubarb and Notre Maison should also go well.
