Race Description

This is a six furlongs handicap race for three-year-old fillies only which have been rated from 66 to 85

Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb colours no horse

RADIO GOO GOO has returned a much improved model and looks weighted to complete a hat-trick turned out under a 6lb penalty for Thursday’s comfortable Haydock success. Wasdale could emerge as the chief threat now she reverts to 6f, with in-form pair Royal Dress and Absolutelyflawless in the mix too in a competitive sprint.
