Newton Abbot 3:47 Result

Broadway Honey's recent form line 55-551 shows a mare who has found her stride, winning her latest start just 8 days ago and clearly building fitness/confidence with a fast turnaround suggesting the yard is happy with her. Twiston-Davies is a strong chasing yard and the quick reappearance after a win points to intent. Although her OR of 88 is lower than the top two on ratings (Great d'Ange and Fiskardo both 100), those two carry more weight (168lbs) and have question marks: Great d'Ange's form figure includes a P and a wide-margin 9, while Fiskardo, though consistent (-23444), hasn't quite got his head in front recently and is stepping up in trip toward the top end of his effective range. Royal Time has an interrupted profile (U in the line) and is unproven fully at this trip/class combo, though his recent 43 finish is respectable. The younger, in-form mare taking a career leap forward, racing off a winning mark, with a conditional rider claiming 3lbs, looks the strongest each-way and win case in a competitive but not top-class handicap. Her class rise is mitigated by the fact this is still a low-grade contest, and her trajectory (5-5-5-5-1) shows a filly finally putting it together just as she steps up in trip to 3m2f, which given a stamina-laden pedigree (Zambezi Sun / King's Theatre) should suit. I'll oppose the two joint-top-rated horses due to their fitness/soundness question marks and back the mare on an upward curve.
