BABE IN THE WOODS (3) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 8 lengths into fifth at her latest appearance over 7½f at this track (Turf). Backmarker who gets home hard. Will prove hard to hold out. SAFECRACKER SUE (7) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fourth after being in the firing line on the turn at her last appearance over 7½f at this track (Turf) on June 30. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. REALISTIC GOAL (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 25 lengths into fifth. Has the ability to take care of this field. LIONS LAW (6) was beaten 29 lengths into seventh in a 6f contest at this track last time out. Better than recent efforts suggest.
