Scorched Breath⁵⁶

Second Collection^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| BF

4/1

Remains a maiden following eight starts but went close with a career best when dropped to this distance last time. Stable in decent form and every chance of going one better.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M Dwyer| T: R Spencer

Compton Place filly, cost 11,000 gns as a yearling. Made debut (removed) in a hood when making no impression in November and first runs since. Big improvement required.

With Caution

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate

11/2

By Dandy Man, fetched 16,000 gns as a yearling and bred to be a sprinter. Stable capable of readying a newcomer and worth a market check.

Forecasts

Scorched Breath (8/15), Second Collection (4/1), With Caution (11/2), Fort Benton (14/1), Sussudio (20/1), Estranged (33/1)

Second Collection was suited by the drop to this distance and sets the standard but there's every chance SCORCHED BREATH will improve past her following an eye-catching debut. Fort Benton is respected if progressing once again while market support for With Caution should be noted.
