Only beaten ahead in an arguably better race over a bit further here last month, Deep River Woman has solid claims in this despite a high draw. FORGET O’GIRLS appeared to stay the mile at Kenilworth in January and she justified strong market support when making a winning start on Polytrack. There should be more to come and All The Stars could give her victory a boost in today’s opener. Ladysmith has been thereabouts lately but a career strike-rate of 1-27 is off-putting. Tawny Jet and Big Myth are others to consider along with recent winner Cherry Pop.
