On a rubbish day was going to be my only bet, but fortunately, didn't bother. Clearly should have won. Quite often these bigger types look far too much for her, and she took far too long to get it organised and going forward. It wasn't as if the run was blocked, just needed much stronger handling. Commiserations to any who did back it.
Just heard some bookie bod waffling on about how the horse met trouble in running last time. The only thing that prevented it from winning was the jock.
They will no doubt be hoping she repeats the dose again. Anyone who backed it last time couldn't possibly be diving in at such a short price. If she rides it the same way she will be riding for luck in a big field.

How often do the Racing Post in any form call out a mistake by any jock? It's close to never. They are particularly good at noticing when a horse has totally bombed that it might be the remotest bit keen even though in reality it should have made next to no difference. They purposefully look for excuses. If people want to take their write ups at face value then that's up to them.

Once she decided to take a pull after a reasonable break she was always in a very poor position. I can't imagine anyone at any stage thought she was going to win, or even get close. The post race analysis - for what it was worth - purposefully forgot she was in the race. For some reason she made a token gesture with the whip inside the final furlong, and she looked as untidy as a 7lb claimer.
