Best Bet: Queen Georgia (T3, 4.07 Towcester)

Next Best: Leighas Dream (T6, 3.49 Towcester)

Treble: Icemans Girl (T3, 4.26 Towcester)

The bitches take centre stage at Towcester this afternoon as three semi-finals of the Bet365 Empress Stakes feature. There is a cracking line-up in the 4.07, with three of the top contenders New Destiny, Avongate Venus and Queen Georgia (T3) going head-to-head. Marginal preference is for the latter, as Liz McNair's likeable individual rarely disappoints at the start, never seeing another rival in a powerful victory last time, and this galloping circuit seems to suit.

Leighas Dream (T6) holds her form admirably and there was no stopping Barry Denby's bitch once hitting the front in an impressive 28.84 first-round success. She sets a high standard in the first semi at 3.49 and, although she has to master the early speed of Signet Tess on her inner, she appears more than capable of overcoming a tricky draw.

A slow break meant that Icemans Girl (T3) couldn't get to grips with the leaders in a semi-final of the Gold Cup at Monmore last month. This July '22 bitch soon put that effort behind her when accelerating away down the back straight for a commanding win in 29.16 last week, and the third semi-final at 4.26 looks well within her compass.
