Chepstow 4:00 Result

Rovinia is in career-best form, with a recent sequence of 9-5-2-2-2-1 showing consistent improvement culminating in a win last time out. She carries the highest weight (133lbs/OR53) which reflects that superior form, but she's clearly progressive and has already proven she handles this type of grade. Draw 3 is workable for a 7f test. Her jockey Owen Lewis takes the ride and the yard (Roger Teal) is a solid flat operation. Rivals are less convincing: It's A Mugs Game and Angel's Call have flattered to deceive with inconsistent efforts, Marisitta is respectable but hasn't shown the scoring power Rovinia has, and the younger horses (Big Moonrise, Kaiko, Lady V) are unproven at this level with modest or patchy form. Eye Of The Water is old and lightly campaigned this season with a big layoff. Rovinia's rising OR and the fact she's actually winning races (not just placing) makes her the one to beat on pure form, and she looks the strongest package of consistent recent improvement in a substandard Class 6 field.
