QUEEN LEILA ran a good race on debut over this distance on the Standside course. She took time to find her feet, but stayed on at the business end. The daughter of Heavenly Blue would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to beat. THE BACHELORETTE is an unraced daughter of William Longsword from the Sean Tarry stable with Keagan de Melo in the saddle. If not in need of the run, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her and the other unraced entrants. LOVE NOT WAR is a daughter of Act Of War from the Stuart Pettigrew stable and Diego De Gouveia rides. If not too green in running, she should give a good account of herself. IRISH WILMA raced green and was reported to be fatigued on debut. The daughter of William Longsword would have come on from the run and can improve to finish in the placings.
