Racing Summary

DATE	PROFILE/COMMENTS
23 Mar	Calypso Girl - hard to weigh up without knowing how big she is and how fit on the day. Ran a solid race given the low draw and centre track run but didn't really get involved and left behind in later race. Looked smaller than the winner on TV pictures. If she had, say, 'Danjet' ability she should have been able to get to 3rd-4th even with the trip negatives. On the 'suspect' list.
15 Apr	We have already seen with Saxford's win from Knavesmire at Newcastle that track position probably conferred a notable advantage in the Brocklesby. Calypso Girl ought to be a usable 2yo if David Evans chose to ran her there but she never got competitive. However, she did second best of those that tacked over from a low draw to centre field and wasn't stopping at the finish. She didn't look as good a physical type as Nothern Tour who did best of those disadvantaged and came from further back. Overall, she seems likely to improve here and be a better prospect than Eilean Eeve but lack the class for a solid newcomer.
