2:30 Warwick (5th May) BRITISH STALLION STUDS EBF MAIDEN FILLIES´ STAKES (Bobis Race) (CLASS 5) (2yo)


An EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes over 5f on good to soft going. Tom Dascombe has been busy this season with a number of two-year-olds making their debut. While a good few have proven a little disappointing War Paint showed promise when making her debut at Pontefract in the middle of April. This daughter of Excellent Art is a fine stamp of a filly and a good-looking type, strong through the chest as seen with many of this stable's youngsters. She cost 82,000gns at the yearling sales and was well backed on her racecourse bow, which is never a bad sign from this handler. Kingscote gave this brown filly a lovely introduction and she moved nicely in the closing stages when given a gently nudge to go forward. There will be ample improvement from that tender handling. Warwick is a course which favours horses with experience and a good few of these have something to prove. If priced 13/2 & less has respectable win and place claims. Zuzinia is worth watching in the betting after being given a stakes race entry. The main danger is Rise Up Lotus, a flashy grey, who showed up well at Newmarket.
