Race of the Day Preview / Timeform / 17 May 2009 / Leave a Comment

Timeform head to the West Country to run the rule over the field for a Monday afternoon race...

Where's Susie often shaped as though she was better than the result last summer and with her recent hurdling efforts looking solid enough, she can make a winning return to the Flat. Shy and Rose Row are both feared in opposition.

Shy is still a maiden, but is very well treated on the pick of last season's efforts and should be well suited by the conditions. She will be dangerous if given an easy lead in this company.

Rose Row has finished first and third on her two previous visits here and made a promising reappearance when fourth at Kempton. She is effective at the trip and on quick ground. Respected.

Seedless looks poorly handicapped on what she has achieved to date but is bred to be effective at this trip and her stable are firing in the winners at present. Market support would look significant.

Act Three was runner-up in a couple of staying events last summer and returns to the Flat off a competitive mark. She could do with some rain though, and is opposable if the ground stays quick.

Little Carmela has a good record on polytrack this winter, winning twice, but has gone with little zest on her last two starts. She looks opposable back on turf, albeit she is proven on fast ground.

Beautiful Lady progressed in the first half of 2008 (unraced previously), winning at Thirsk in August, but lost her way badly on her final four starts. She showed nothing on her reappearance last week though, and has plenty to prove for now.

Make Amends won a maiden at Chepstow last August. Her best effort in handicaps since came when second at Lingfield last month. She couldn't match that last time though, and there is a stamina concern this time.
