Still can\u2019t see a pattern for what she did, maybe <I>vigilante <\/I>sent out some different riding instructions to her jock which paid dividends. If she can repeat that effort she\u2019s in with a big show here but her runs before last start were just ok.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Merge <\/B>is a Dixieland band filly who has done very well in her short career to date. Went horribly wrong last start and here\u2019s hoping <I>kaif015 <\/I>has corrected that. She likes to go hard early and providing everything is in order here there\u2019s no reason she can\u2019t give this a shake.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Ermington Zabeel (IRE) <\/B>is on debut and for this you got to give <I>pigeon<\/I> some credit for this ballsy move. Obviously the trainer has seen something in this gal and believes she is up to the task today, at worst he will earn a spot in the butcher boys. Her father was a great runner who was only retired to produce this filly some 3 to 4 weeks back. Good luck <I>pigeon<\/I>.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Border Treaty <\/B>is rated a 7\/1 chance for this and hails from the <I>opimulder <\/I>barns. She has drawn the 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> gate and from there should be given a good run. Not a bad prospect but her form doesn\u2019t read well enough for this, think she will need to be at her very best to get the money.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Kill\u2019s The Pain (IRE)<\/B> will likely win this in a canter. Looks to be a machine in the making. This Giant\u2019s Causeway filly has won 4 from 5 starts and has won her last 3 starts with ease. She\u2019s certainly going to take some beating here and goes into the race as the one to beat.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><B>Dayfly\u2019s Kid <\/B>is a nice Dayjur filly. She looks an absolute treat and is in great form. Is one of the better fancied runners and will be right there at the finish. Never got going last time out but her runs before that very solid.
