Better expected from Red Star Lady in Wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk Fillies´ Selling Stakes
Coconut Kisses looks sure to put her rivals under tremendous amount of pressure at Wolverhampton, but Red Star Lady, an expensive loser here earlier this month, deserves another chance.
A drop in class and the first-time headgear can perk her up, and if she makes the best use of these two advantages, she will be the toughest one to beat in the Wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk Fillies´ Selling Stakes on Friday, August 31, 2012.
Including the abovementioned pair, the class 6 meeting has 13 runners in the line-up. On Wolverhampton’s standard track, they will compete for a cash prize worth £1,704. The officials are due to start the 5-furlong 20-yard clash at 19:50 GMT.
Coconut Kisses boasts a strong profile. The 2-year-old was not impressive on her debut at Kempton, but has been doing well since then. Trained by Bill Turner, the daughter of Bahamian Bounty opened her account here in mid April.
Despite being shaken up early on, the 4-1 chance kept on well, and no one could challenge her in the final stages. Consequently, an easy 1½-length victory came to her credit.
The maiden victory did not flatter the filly, as she maintained the standards the following two occasions. After a gap of almost four months, the P. Venner-owned returned to action with a bang, and notched up the third place at Lingfield, before finishing
second to Charlemagne Diva at Thirsk on August 20th.
Bred by P. And Mrs Venner And Trickledown Stud, the juvenile is undoubtedly in good form, and has a lot in her favour. Nevertheless, her fans cannot afford to take things for granted.
Red Star Lady is not in as bad position as last time. In the £32 Bonus At 32Red.com Fillies' Nursery, the 5-2 favourite got weakened in the final moments and as a result, could only seize the seventh place. An unlucky defeat, however, does not take anything
away from her.
On the other hand, Jamie Osborne, Hardy Blue’s trainer, has a good record in Selling Stakes this season. So, his trainee is among our shortlisted contestants.
Red Star Lady’s recent stats are not fascinating, but still the punters can take a chance in the hope that the headgear will help her unleash the best.
