Beverley 3:55 Result

Military Girl's recent form -31125 shows consistent placing with two wins in there, and she's clearly progressive at 4yo carrying a high weight (137lbs) which reflects a strong OR of 72 earned on merit. She's proven on testing/heavy ground given her Beverley-area sprinting background and Michael Dods yard excel at this trip/track with sprint handicappers. The recent figures (1,1,2,5) show she's in career-best form right now, winning twice recently and only just touched off. Draw 15 is wide but at 5f Beverley that can actually be an advantage allowing a clear passage up the stands' rail without being boxed in, which suits a filly who has shown she can travel and finish. Rivals like Daizen and Holbache carry similar weight/ratings but are either unproven in this deep ground or have leveled off in form (Daizen's 505108 is patchy, Holbache 3-7158 inconsistent). Simba's Pride and Ice Cold Alex are workmanlike but lack the recent scintillating form. Connor Beasley up increases confidence — Dods' retained rider knows the filly intimately and the yard is in good form with sprinters on this circuit. She looks the one to beat on ability and recent trajectory, and represents a fair market price relative to a would-be favourite like Daizen or Holbache who both carry question marks.
