Dame Sarra^b³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 57| C| D

6/1

Proved suited by the step up in trip when landing 14f handicap at Chelmsford City 30 days ago. Up 4 lb but this course scorer remains unexposed at this distance and rates a big player.

Form: 216221

Blue Hawaii²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: D Swift| T: T Collier| OR: 51| D

4/1

Creditable third of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 20 days ago. Can give another good account.

Forecasts

Heatherdown Hero (7/2), Blue Hawaii (4/1), Dame Sarra (6/1), Virtual Hug (13/2), Peripeteia (7/1), Wilkie (15/2), Pysanka (9/1), Vienna Girl (14/1), Scylla (16/1), Central City (33/1), Typewritten (50/1), Rubeus (80/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but Ed Dunlop's filly DAME SARRA took her form up a notch when going in at Chelmsford City last time and this course scorer can defy a 4 lb rise in the weights given she is still unexposed at this trip. Both Virtual Hug and Pysanka also have winning form at the track and must enter calculations, while Scott Dixon's new recruit Rubeus is handily weighted if proving resurgent for his new yard.
