Race Overview

BARB RAIDER (3) was beaten when they quickened off a slow pace in the Mannerism but she knuckled down well and can be all the better for having had that run now. Up to the mile suits as we saw when she won the Kewney second up on this day last year. INSPIRATIONAL GIRL (2) is interesting for the new yard. She ran well without threatening first up in the Feehan in the spring. Clearly she will be better for this one but her peaks are outstanding for this and she must be respected. EXCELIDA (4) bombed the kick last time and ran on from miles back behind a dominant winner. Just has to be in touch in the run to have a great chance. SO YOU SEE (8) is racing really well and is worth a shot in better company while FORBIDDEN CITY (9) took her chance last time and ran well enough to be considered.
