LADYWOOD is progressing well with further improvement a distinct possibility stepping up in trip today. She beat subsequent winners in the process of landing a double and collateral form gives her the beating of both Space Kid and In The Genes. The former should be in the mix once again while Beijing Billy ran into plenty of trouble over track and trip last time and better is expected from him. The selection’s stablemate Renbawi is another looking to put a poor effort behind him while Kabuto is preferred to Human Action of the handicap newcomers.
