Ascot Race 2

Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% British Ebf Fillies' Handicap (Str)

Stake: $99,630

The unexposed RAINBOWS EDGE (1) can make a winning handicap debut for leading connections. This John and Thady Gosden trained filly created a nice impression winning first two starts before finishing second in the Listed Upavon Fillies Stakes. Can return to winning ways back down in trip. ARISAIG (2) was beaten less than 2L when fifth in the Listed Conqueror Fillies Stakes at Goodwood a week ago and must be respected revisiting handicap company. ZAPPHIRE (5) might get involved if taking a step forward for her reappearance third at Musselburgh three weeks ago. BELLARCHI (6) rates next best.
