In race four, Robema is the choice ahead of Gallantry, H Harrison and Stoic Leader. The draw has certainly played a part in our choice here. Robema is drawn in stall four but, to be fair, she comes here as a lightly-raced improver that put up a best-yet effort when third to Medley at Newmarket eight days ago and, accordingly, looks set to go well. Gallantry was only just denied by H Harrison over course and distance in June and he can go well from a three-pounds higher mark. In fact, both are reasonably berthed and can go well. Glenbuck ran very well in the big Ladies race at Ascot eight days ago and is weighted to go well, although he did hang to his right when last seen here. Finally, Stoic Leader is back to a winning mark from April and, well drawn, cannot be ruled out of a good run. For the selection, though, we will stick with Robema.
