JUNE 9th SUMMING UP
|
A low quality race in prospect with the three previous winners in the field
having won in races equivalent to seller level. Highland Song won
a seller on debut and became her trainer's initial FTO winner. She looked
small and limited but a ready type with a willing attitude. It feels odd
to have a penalised seller winner trained by R Fisher at the head of the
profile but this indicates the low quality overall. She lost ground at
the start at Musselburgh but won a little comfortably but will need to
be more professional here.
The race has three runners who have shown their best form setting or pressing
the pace. Coquet Island & Conciliate in particular seem
likely to force a strong pace and will cause problems for Highland Song
if she does not break well. Coquet Island gets his first chance to go 5f
on a fast track so we will find out if he has the basic pace for that and
can actually see the last furlong out well.
City For Conquest pressed the pace last time in first time blinkers
but that was such a moderate race that the others were probably not going
fast enough for her. In receipt of weight she is the most likely to benefit
if Highland Song fails to come up to expectations. She will probably be
able to adapt to tracking a strong pace if necessary.

RACE QUALITY:
|
Normally a moderate to average race featuring early season winners and
with little future relevance. The last two races have been won by maidens
who had more scope to improve from the previous form they had shown.
Rating in the range 65-75 have usually been sufficient to win.
