RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: KATIE LORRAINE (9) is simply a winner, looking to stretch the unbeaten start to her career to four wins. Whilst she steps up in grade here, her most recent win when she was able to lead suggests she can run the time necessary to win at this level. Her trailing draw off what looks to be a fast front row can help her be strong late. FEARLESS WRITER (7) drops back to a suitable ratings band here after racing so well against quality opposition at Melton. She’s a brilliant beginner, and she’ll need to be with some speed drawn inside. She performs her best races over the short trip and, whilst she’s going well, will need luck with the map. FERRIGNO (8) has been freshened up for this, and his recent trial was very good in a solid last half. He follows out a fast beginner and can be a knockout chance if things don’t work out for the top two. LAMBRO MACH (5) finds an easier ratings band, but not necessarily weaker opposition, and has a tricky map. His best form commands respect and he should be kept safe.
