Race of the Day Preview / Timeform / 02 September 2009 / Leave a comment

Conniption created a really good impression on her debut and she can take this step up in class in her stride. She's A Character will find this easier than some of her recent assignments and is respected, while Walk On Water has done nothing wrong to date and can reach the frame.

"Walk on Water came through her first test with flying colours when making all to put two subsequent winners to the sword in a six-furlong maiden at Ascot on her debut. She bettered that at Chester last time and has leading claims."

Jira raised her game to nab Jeanie Johnston in a listed event here and was not disgraced when fourth to Lady of The Desert in a strongly-contested race at Ascot next time. She was well held last time though and is vulnerable under a penalty.

Conniption created a really favourable impression when landing a Newbury maiden by a wide margin on her debut and the stable's winning newcomers are usually well above average. She can do better still and has leading claims.

Kurtanella struggled in good races on her third and fourth starts and needed a return to nurseries to get back to winning ways. She was beaten in that grade last time though and more is needed this time.

Queen's Grace comes from an excellent family and left her debut effort behind her when springing a 50/1 shock at Newbury last time. She remains capable of better but will need to be now upped in grade.

Roodle landed a 5-runner minor event (five furlongs) at Chepstow in July, but seemingly has had her limitations exposed in better company since. It would be surprising if there weren't a couple too strong this time.

Seeking Dubai is getting the hang of things all the time and followed a Windsor maiden success with a win in a Kempton nursery last time. She will stay further in time and might find some of these too sharp.

Shamandar found only Monsieur Chevalier too good in the Super Sprint in July on her second start (won maiden at Ripon on debut). She took another step forward when beaten a nostril last time and is a leading contender.

She's a Character was a wide-margin winner of a six furlong Doncaster maiden on her debut before finishing fourth in a fillies Group 3 at Royal Ascot. She was not disgraced in a warm race last time and this is easier back against her own sex.

Sweet Sonnet did really well to win at York on her debut given she missed the break and was clueless throughout. She found Group 3 company too much to handle last time but remains capable of better.

Theladyinquestion was not knocked about on her debut and put that experience to good use when landing a course and distance maiden last time. This is a much stiffer assignment though and the suspicion is that she will come up short.

Walk on Water came through her first test with flying colours when making all to put two subsequent winners to the sword in a six-furlong maiden at Ascot on her debut. She bettered that at Chester last time and has leading claims.
