5/4

Promising type. Second of 4 in minor event at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm, 25/1) 12 days ago, no match for winner. Should improve and this track should suit her better too. Outstanding claims.

Form: 7-2

It Girl

13/2

Ito filly. Dam, German 9f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Baltic Baroness. Interesting newcomer, especially if market speaks in her favour.

Forecasts

Allegranza (5/4), Cover Drive (3/1), Lion Face (3/1), It Girl (13/2), The Imposter (66/1)

ALLEGRANZA ran very well at Ripon last time and she should improve again. With very little in opposition, she is difficult to oppose. It Girl is an interesting debutante and she may rate as the biggest danger. Lion Face could improve to take a hand too.
