Handicap / Class E

DONDOYAKI followed up her maiden win with a solid second place finish against much stronger. She is dropping in class and has a 4kg apprentice claim to boost her chances of seeing out the extra. FALCONFLY weaved her way to win with something in hand after a rest. It was the five-year-old mare's fifth start and she could be up to the task in this lower division handicap. SHEETS AND GOGGLES has won twice over the distance so has no stamina doubts. She looks capable of better than what she showed recently. Last start winner GIFT OF ROYAL and COMMANDER OF ALL have claims too.
