Newbury Race 5 - Visit Malta St Hugh's Stakes (Fillies' Listed)
ACTING LADY (2) wasn't beaten far debuting in a small field contest. Went two places better at Newmarket last month and dropping in trip for this step up in grade warrants respect representing a yard who can do little wrong. EFSIXTEEN (7) wears a tongue strap for the first time after making a promising debut at Newmarket scoring by 0.5L. Yard are going well this season and Tom Marquand is a positive booking. ELEVATING (8) won nicely at Sandown Park last week and no surprise to see her keep the good times rolling providing a bold showing. FAST TRACK (9) is well exposed however holds ability and shouldn't be far away with a clear run.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run led but faded 2nd of 9 at Goodwood on July 29 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Wild Blossom with 58kg at $4.30. The race before that scored a big 7 len win at Beverley on July 14 over 1000m defeating Kokumi carrying 58kg at $1.10. Key chance capable of taking this out.
