7. Matron Bullwinkel |
Medium |
Comment: Overview : 7-1-14-12. Looks a good race for the Maher Eustace stable, taking a little better than even money they will win the race seems fair, slight leaning to MATRON BULLWINKEL ahead of ARKTIKA, then CABACA and TAHLEQUAH. Place- 4,5,11. |

1. Shes Extreme |
High |
Comment: Overview : 1-2-8-4. SHE'S EXTREME clearly the one to beat on form- don't like the synthetic hoof filler but hoping they wouldn't risk her if she wasn't right from ZENNZELLA, QUEEN AIR and PAVITRA. Place- 3,5,6,7. |
