    Interesting Group 3 for the fillies, prices i would chalk up are in brackets!

    2000M

    TREAT GENTLY (5,0), i see the RP man is convinced of her profile to win this race,me not!, i wouldn`t take her beating of DAR RE MI at face value, the latters jockey was having a little siesta at the back when the pace lifted and she sort of stole first run, before that she was put in her place by the likeable SUB ROSE, all in all im a “layer“!

    MUTHABARA (5,0) Wasn`t beaten far in the Nassau, however,she doesn`t appear to finish her races and with Muppet Hills in the saddle she`s hardly likely to receive the support she needs, with that said, she appears to be finding her feet,trip/track/going should be fine and a French style race might be the answer,certainly in with a shout!

    TURNING FOR HOME (26,0) Appears to be Pantalls 2nd string,didn`t beat a lot in Munich.

    YARASTAR (26,0) Pantalls first string assuming Johan Victoire had the choice!, readily held by LADY MARION and plenty to prove at this level

    CLASSIC REMARK (15,0) Improved somewhat but flattered by finishing close up in the Nassau,a place would be an achievement

    ALBISOLA (7,0) Stable in great form,however,she needs the heavens to open if she`s going to show her best.

    LADY MARION (7,0) Was beaten in a tierce off a mark of 36(3 runs back), if she was allowed to race off that mark now she would probably win 10 legnths,this is a vastly improved filly and is not out of place in this field,stables horses have returned to form and under optimum conditions she`s got to be of interest, should pay decent on the PMU!!

    BELLE ALLURE (6,5) Dropped in grade and open to further improvement, one to keep on the right side under optimum conditions.

    CHANGING SKIES (6,5) Dettori for Meehan, might get the run of the race from near the front and should again finish in front of ALBISOLA on ground that won`t inconvenience her , certainly in with a chance!

    TREMETO (101,0) Shown little,not proven in this class!!

    Conclusion:

    Open looking race , the French will probably punt TREAT GENTLY on the PMU so i think we will get longer prices some of the others,the horse that interests me the most at likely prices is LADY MARION,she will probably start in double figures which means theirs a bit of value to be had.

    1 point each way LADY MARION

    Dar Re Mi was able to earn some stripes here – a similar moment of truth for Muthabara.

    Good pick there Tony. I took Treat Gently with my eyes shut on this one and shouldve looked into it more.

    What price did you manage to get in the end? Hope it was a good one :D

    Hi Halfwaytoheaven,

    I managed to get 10-1 once i saw price contracting, she was 8,0 on the track which was slightly worse than what the English bookies where offering,the great thing is we have the best of both worlds when Bookies chalk up !!
