Race Tip
Multiple Group 3 placegetter MISS SPEEDY (9) showed early speed from an outside draw last time out and led for much of the way before finding one better at the end of 6½f in the G3 Royal North Stakes at this track. Well-placed and will take catching. LANTANA LADY (2) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when second over 5f at this track, beaten 0.3 lengths after she did her best work late. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Has the talent to take this out. INDIAN MUSIC (3) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 0.1 lengths over 6f at this track. Can feature in the finish again. TAQUANYAH (5) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. In the mix.
