RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FREMARKS PEGGY (1) looks to be running near her career best in her last two starts. She races well for James Herbertson, who takes the drive here again. She doesn’t have great gate speed and will need luck, but if she can find clear running she will perform strongly. COUNTESS CHIRON (5) and BLACK AND GOLD (7) are smart mares who in their past have once competed against much tougher opposition. They bring solid recent sectional times into this race. COUNTESS CHIRON (5) may be able to map forward with her gate speed, while BLACK AND GOLD (7) will need luck but was a good winner last start. MIDNIGHT MUSCLE (4) has gate speed and has been racing well and consistently recently. If he finds a forward position he can run along well.
