I cannot quite fathom why this consistent, strong finishing filly is such a big price in this, given she was most unlucky, drawn in stall 1, against both the 2nd & 3rd favs for this over C & D LTO. She ran a remarkable race in my eyes, switched across the whole field the back again before powering up the unfavoured centre of the track to be beaten just 1 & ½ lengths in the end. Karl Burke has his stable in good nick and targets the impressive prize money on this day and it looks significant that he has enlited a useful apprentice to take a further 3lb off her back. She is massively better off with those rivals from last time and indeed a few in here so, although a filly against males (something I normally find a negative) she has been running well against them all season and all in all, a decent looking bet for me.
