Jeanne Darc from the Stuart Ferrie stable should give punters a good start to the evening She has produced two good runs to date.
She was running on when third over this course and distance last time.
The daughter of William Longsword is a progressive type and if not too far out of her ground turning for home, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Siboniso Ngcobo sends out Colorado Creek in the lucky last and she may be the one to close off the meeting.
She stayed on when fifth over 1200m on this course last time.
She returns from a 10-week break which may have done her the world of good. The daughter of The United States should be ideally suited to this distance.
She takes a drop in class and if not in need of the run, she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
