ZEROING IN

We go about finding a weekend special from a statistical angle.

Progressive filly who should be nearing her peak fitness racing third up following an encouraging effort last start when finishing third behind Woodbine. Takes on the older mares for the first time on Saturday but is well placed at the weights and appears set to relish the step up to seven furlongs. Is proven to be at her best with the sting out of the track however she proved capable on firm going last start and did she show good improvement with the blinkers on for the first time. Have to respect last start winners More Than Brave and Breakfast In Bed however the time figures out of Watabout's latest performance suggests she does have a slight edge at this point in time.
