Fox, who finished in the money\u00a0at over half of her 40 race starts, earning over $100,000 in turf routes.<BR><\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial>This race sees the 3yo filly, She Goes, taking on the older horses for the second time, in what should be a very competitive race.\u00a0 There doesn&#8217;t seem to be a natural leader here, with most of these fillies preferring to sit back just off the\u00a0front and accelerate on the home turn.\u00a0\u00a0Therefore, it could be a sit and sprint to the finish, unless one of the trainers can change their tactics and give the rest of the field something to catch.<\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>PP1<\/STRONG> ID#20988 <STRONG>SHE GOES <\/STRONG><EM><STRONG>5\/1<\/STRONG> djones4321 <\/EM><\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial>This 3yo daughter of Roar stepped up to Stakes class against the older fillies last start after stringing 4 wins together in a row.\u00a0 Despite running an impressive SP# of 95, it found the favourite too slick and finished in 4th place, 6 lengths\u00a0off the winner.\u00a0 She will be better for that experience and after a month off, and top jockey, A Smith on board, she should be able to give a good sight in this.<\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>PP2 <\/STRONG>ID#56514 <STRONG>BALINOR 5\/2<\/STRONG> <EM>gregchilds<\/EM><\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial>The top ranked Turf Long Routing horse in the race (ranked 84) is aiming to top $350,000 in prize money with a finish in the money here.\u00a0 This is her 15th race of the year, and all but one have been in Stakes company.\u00a0 Although she has only won one of those, she has finished in the top 5 on 12 occasions, including the last 9.\u00a0 Her only Stakes win came after leading the field wire to wire, and if she can take up the leading position again in a race with not a lot of natural leaders, she&#8217;ll\u00a0be in it for a long way.\u00a0 Bottom ranked jockey, M Boudzidi may not help her chances though.<\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>PP3 <\/STRONG>ID#89101<STRONG> LOWLANDS LUCKY 5\/2<\/STRONG> <EM>stalfrank<\/EM><\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial>Stepping up in distance and class is the equal favourite, Lowlands Lucky.\u00a0 She hasn&#8217;t missed a place in her last 6 starts in Allowance company and will be put to the test over 11 furlongs in this event.\u00a0 Backing up at Ostend for the second start in a row, she once again has BB Thornton in the saddle, and if she can sit back off the speed and get a late run at them, she could get her first stakes win.\u00a0 At 5\/2, the bookies seem confident that she can handle the extra trip &#8211; her previous longest journey was 9 furlongs.<\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>PP4<\/STRONG> ID#69748 <STRONG>DARING

Bonanza at Ascot.\u00a0 She comes in here after a nice break in the paddock of over 4 months, but libledlady is setting her a tough assignment against some of these.\u00a0 She hasn&#8217;t won a race since her first appearance of the year, but has been competitive in weaker company.\u00a0 Will need to be at her best to knock some of these off first up, especially with pornstar namesake, R Jeremy, riding her home.<\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>PP5<\/STRONG> ID#38782<STRONG> SHIRAZ 9\/1<\/STRONG> <EM>celticcros<\/EM><\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial>Was found to be out of her league last time out when well beaten at big odds in the Talented Machine stakes.\u00a0 She managed to put together a hatrick of wins over this trip on the turf mid-year in Allowance company, but has struggled of late, not finishing within 10 lengths of the winner at any of her last 5 outings.\u00a0 Will need a form reversal here to be the first home, but is a place chance if she can recapture her mid-year form.<\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>PP6<\/STRONG> ID#109984 <STRONG>DREAM TICKET 5\/1<\/STRONG> <EM>silks2912<\/EM><\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial>This 4yo filly is no stranger to stakes company.\u00a0 12 of her 19 starts have been in this grade with just the one win to date, when she surprised with an authoritative win back in April went sent out as the roughie of the field.\u00a0 Since then she has shown an appreciation for her 3 ventures back\u00a0to Allowance\u00a0class to win 2\u00a0of these starts, but\u00a02 shows is the best she has managed\u00a0in stakes class.\u00a0 Comes in for her 3rd start in 6 weeks, so should be super fit, and if she can get to the front as they turn for home, she&#8217;ll take some catching.<\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT

Danehill Dancer filly has been in good form of late, finishing 3rd in her last start in the Project Project Memorial Stakes, following 2 wins in a row over a mile and a half on the turf in restricted Allowances.\u00a0 She has been lightly raced this year with just 8 starts and her SP#s have been gradually improving over her career, breaking into the 90s for the first time 2 starts back.\u00a0 Another one who likes to sit just off the pace and make a break coming into the stretch.\u00a0 This race looks to be a good opportunity for her to continue on her improving ways.<\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Arial>In summary,<\/FONT>\u00a0the 3yo filly, She Goes,\u00a0looks\u00a0the best\u00a0value at 5\/1.\u00a0 There are a few consistent types that seem to finish in the money often, but\u00a0haven&#8217;t shown the zip at the finish to hit the line in first place\u00a0at this level.\u00a0 Lowlands Lucky is a risk at this distance, despite looking the classiest of the
