Five-Year-Old Good Enough To Be A Film Star
Quick Returner Has Conditions To Win Again
Wilf Storey’s BETTY GRABLE had run in 17 races for him before she broke her duck but has maintained that good form with a second and another win since. There are no significant factors such as different distance or fitting of aids to account for the improvement so it looks very advisable just to do what has proven successful in the past – back a mare or filly in form. Her last effort, a comfortable win from Mywayistheonlyway was at Ayr just a week ago and the jockey that day, apprentice Rhona Pindar, is on board again, taking off 7 lbs. Betty actually goes off a mark 1 lb less and reduces that by a further couple as Pindar can claim her full allowance.BROCTUNE RED and PRANCING OSCAR are next best on ratings, whilst ROSEMAY is being backed and ground and course should suit. The only reservation about Betty Grable is the going which is good to soft. Her win was on good to firm but trainer Storey had plenty of alternatives for the mare and at 2/1 she’s worth a bet. G Lees
