MAY 9th SUMMING UP
|
Bloodstocktv has the best form and runs for a reliable trainer whose
2yos normally show around 5lb improvement from a prominent debut. He sets
a good standard and it will need notable improvement for any of the others
to better that standard.
Silver Rocket has shown poor to moderate form in two races within
7 days at Windsor. She was not fit enough to compete on her debut and presumably
still lacked fitness STO. She has been given a break before this run. On
the positive side she looked capable of developing to be competitive in
this type of race in paddock review. She also runs for a trainer who has
reverted to developing his 2yos with racing and has won with his only two
runners at the course in 2003-4. There are clearly a number of "ifs" but
off bottom weight in a moderate race she has an acceptable profile to improve
to be competitive.
Little Elver & Beautiful South represent the same trainer
and their development over their 3 runs has been very similar. Both were
too inexperienced and/or unfit to show up at all in their first two races
and got behind early. After a short break they reappeared on consecutive
days in better races than this one and had metamorphosed into attacking
pace pressers. Both kept prominent until nearly the final furlong before
solid fades. Little Elver has shown better form but Beautiful South may
be able to do better on this easier track.
None of the others appear to have a profile which hints that they could
develop to get to Bloodstocktv's standard. The newcomer Capital
Lass runs for a trainer who does not target 2yo racing but seems to
have a reasonable group in 2005 and has got wins with his two 2yo runners
so far. Both of these have shown solid improvement from debut and she would
have to be above her trainer's normal debut readiness to be involved in
the finish.

RACE QUALITY:
|
The auction race run at this time in 2004 was a Class E race and better
quality. The race has been dropped to Class 7 and the lower quality is
indicated by the fact that the topweight cost only 5,000 guineas at the
sales.
