Race of the Day Preview / Timeform / 01 October 2009 / Leave a comment

Some progressive fillies here, with Acquisition the pick to complete a 5-timer from Qelaan and Anice Stellato.

"Anice Stellato is progressing nicely and looked better the further she went when winning a handicap at Newmarket 12 days ago. She’s one to consider even from 4 lb higher mark."

Acquisition is a well-bred filly who is on a sharp upward curve, winning all four starts since her debut. Completed another facile success at Haydock last time and more to come if she copes with this sharper test.

Anice Stellato is progressing nicely and looked better the further she went when winning a handicap at Newmarket 12 days ago. She's one to consider even from 4 lb higher mark.

Qelaan has really found her stride now, beating two subsequent winners when gaining second success in a week last month. She'll be dangerous if left alone at the head of affairs round here.

Rosika won twice around a mile and a quarter in the spring and got back on the up when narrowly going down to unbeaten Bab Al Salam at Bath last time. She's well worth another try at this trip and may not yet have reached her peak.

Sweet Hollow is finally delivering on 2-y-o promise now, winning for the second time in handicaps when drawing away at Newbury last month, though any further improvement may not come until upped in trip.

Hollow Green is enjoying a fine season, registering her sixth win when overcoming a slow start at Ayr in August. She's potentially vulnerable over a trip that may stretch her here, however.

Run For Ede's has been a real flag bearer for her stable this season, winning three times and finishing in the frame on her last two starts. She's clearly still in good form but is facing some progressive, younger rivals here.
