Forecasts

Included (11/4), Minella Fiveo (13/2), Red Ochre (7/1), Alexander The Grey (8/1), Back To Balloo (8/1), Cherry Princess (9/1), Wazowski (10/1), Newstart (11/1), Big Thunder (11/1), Sense Of Urgency (16/1), Mr Kite (16/1), Kisumu (20/1), Bowie (25/1), Calypso Delegator (40/1), It's All About Me (80/1)

Verdict

Not difficult to build a logical case for a number of these runners including the C&D winners Back To Balloo, Cherry Princess and Newstart, and furthermore Minella Fiveo was beaten by a dual subsequent winner at Southwell in April, whilst Red Ochre seems to be getting ever closer to shedding the maiden tag so essentially a very difficult looking getting out stakes. Therefore, it takes a leap of faith to put up SENSE OF URGENCY as the selection; that said, she's surely capable from this sort of mark on her bumper/novice hurdle runs and a recent spin at Perth should see her much more competitive today off a handy 2lb lower mark.
  1. Sense Of Urgency
  2. Red Ochre
  3. Cherry Princess
