Dandara Homes Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)
The Verdict
FormCast selectionWithtearsinmyeyesConfidence 4/5
Withtearsinmyeyes has the most consistent and progressive form of this maiden field - 2232, always in the frame in four runs and clearly running well within herself. She's by Invincible Spirit out of a Galileo mare, a pedigree that suggests she'll be well suited to a mile, and she's already shown she handles this trip with those placed efforts. David Probert takes over in the saddle for in-form Jack Channon, and with an OR of 80 she matches the best-rated horse in the race (Graniteville) but with a far more solid, progressive profile rather than Graniteville's 0-464 line which includes a couple of blank efforts. Sydney Rock's -07622 is workmanlike but has yet to nail a win, and the two unraced-for-a-form-figure types (Esplanade with just a 06, and Zupa Trupa off a 261-day layoff) are hard to trust fitness-wise on a stiffish task against holding form. Withtearsinmyeyes looks the one most likely to go one better than her recent seconds, especially if the pace sets up for a strong closer. She looks the most complete filly here and the best combination of proven ability at the trip and current form.
