OVERVIEW: WRITTEN IN SILK (5) was returning from Tasmania when she sprinted quickly to win nicely at Melton last week. This race is of similar quality and she should prove hard to beat again. AUNTY BESSY (1) is another horse returning from Tasmania and is perfectly drawn. She finished unplaced at a Melton trial effort last week but she met a very strong field so she must be kept safe. OSCAR BRAVO (4) will appreciate his easiest assignment for some time and is capable of improving on his numerical form. SILKY SMOOTH EXCUSE (7) and KEEPCRACKINGJOKES (8) both have enough ability to be competitive against this class. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 1,3 RATINGS: 5/ 1,4/ 7,8/ 9,11

Race comment
OVERVIEW: WRITTEN IN SILK (5) was returning from Tasmania when she sprinted quickly to win nicely at Melton last week. This race is of similar quality and she should prove hard to beat again. AUNTY BESSY (1) is another horse returning from Tasmania and is perfectly drawn. She finished unplaced at a Melton trial effort last week but she met a very strong field so she must be kept safe. OSCAR BRAVO (4) will appreciate his easiest assignment for some time and is capable of improving on his numerical form. SILKY SMOOTH EXCUSE (7) and KEEPCRACKINGJOKES (8) both have enough ability to be competitive against this class. EARLY SPEED: 4 (possible leader), 1,3 RATINGS: 5/ 1,4/ 7,8/ 9,11
