Forecasts

Kitty Hall (6/4), Zakharova (5/2), Highland Gold (6/1), Our Promise (7/1), Headscarf Lil (10/1), Baby Bluesky (14/1), Annie Brown (20/1), Whoa Black Betty (25/1), Sweet Flora (50/1)

Verdict

Experience can count for plenty in these races, so Our Promise enters calculations after an improved second run, while Zakharova looks sure to be popular with wins to her name, although she has to shoulder more weight as a result. That could open the door for a newcomer with some ability and with Brian Hughes booked, perhaps that can be the nicely bred KITTY HALL, who is one of three runners for Nicky Richards, a trainer with a good record in this sphere. Stablemate Highland Gold is probably also worth a market check along with Whoa Black Betty.
  1. Kitty Hall
  2. Zakharova
  3. Our Promise
