RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: BOND GIRL (3) has performed well since joining the Sam Barker stable. She is a strong swooper and the way she has been finishing off her races from back in the field has been impressive. She shouldn’t get as far back from barrier three. At her best OUR BELLA LUCIA (8) is a nice mare but she hasn’t won for a year. Her recent sectional times have been consistently good and she can perform well with luck. NORMANDY NUGGET (5) is a smart runner who can make his own luck. He was good last start, sustaining a long run, but fitness is a slight query after 40 days between runs. YANKEE GAMBLER (9) is a tough campaigner who races well when forward and has options from barrier nine. BACK: BOND GIRL (3) – 2 units (win) SELECTIONS: BOND GIRL (3), OUR BELLA LUCIA (8), NORMANDY NUGGET (5), YANKEE GAMBLER (9)
