RACE COMMENT
The stand start again brings a competitive affair with many of these meeting regularly. TULLAH GIRL (5) is knocking on the door and has been very good her past few starts, making ground from the rear. With her reliable stand-start manners, she can settle closer and be hard to hold out late. JILLIBY JAY SEA (4) is in a purple patch of form and is a noted good beginner, so should land on speed and be in the finish again. SETTEBELLO (2) hasn’t been at his best recently but is capable at odds if he begins cleanly, as he has shown in the past. SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (6) and ROCKS ROY (7) are both consistent in this grade and the smaller field may help them work into the race more effectively.Selections TULLAH GIRL (5), JILLIBY JAY SEA (4), SAPPHIRE GAMBLER (6), ROCKS ROY (7)
