Balaklava Race 1 - Taylors Wines (Bm64)
QUEENOFTHEAIR (2) progressed nicely in her second start when making light work of her rivals. Open to further improvement third-up and should handle the rise in trip. Main danger. MONDELLO (5) chased soundly into the placings last start behind QUEENOFTHEAIR. Meets her better at the weights this time and gets the blinkers on first time. Watch for sharp improvement. DISCREETLY BLUE (3) caught plenty of eyes at headquarters on debut when flashing home to just miss. Will appreciate the rise in trip and can settle closer from the kinder draw. IRRESISTABELLA (4) was a nice maiden winner here three weeks ago. Tougher but deserves respect. Added distance doesn't look a concern. WILD WINNER (6) has been thereabouts in her first two starts. Gets the blinkers on first time and should be nearing a peak third-up. Watch for sharp improvement.
