The Devil In Her faces a rise in class at Sandown today, but she couldn’t have been more impressive first-up from a spell, and something like this does looks the next logical step for her.
The Sebring filly showed some ability without lighting the world on fire during her debut prep last year, but she returned to record a six-length win at Tatura a few weeks ago.
This is a far sterner task, but the manner of her win first-up suggested that she is more than up to it.
I’m keen to stick with Starlea third-up at Sandown this afternoon.
Starlea was an eye-caching winner in BM64 company at Cranbourne first-up this time and was last seen finishing sixth, beaten three lengths over 1000m here at Sandown.
With further improvement, from a good draw and some relief in the weights today, I think this looks a great race for her.
She has drawn horrifically out in the carpark, but Movader has been knocking on the door of a race win since resuming, and I think she’ll still prove extremely difficult to beat today.
The Invader filly only just missed at her first two starts back this time before flashing late to finish half a length from the winner here last time out.
She’s a month between runs, but is clearly up to something of this quality, and we can have an each way play at current odds ($8 at publish).
I expected Passeggiata to go up at around $1.40 in the last at Randwick-Kensington today, so I am more than keen to take the even money that is available at publish.
Passeggiata has made four appearances at the races for three dominant wins, and she returned from a break to lead all the way in BM78 company on the main course here last month.
With natural improvement, I think she’ll simply prove way too good for this lot.
