Thoughts on Contessa Verde
One runner today, Contessa Verde lines up at Ffos Las in the 2.53pm under William Cox. It’s worth noting that with all the massive panic about field sizes that now there is some rain about, that the fields at Ffos Las all have at least 8 runners. Just 3 of 29 races across the country today have less than 8.
The filly steps up in trip. If she can relax into a nice rhythm the extra distance should be a positive for the long striding filly in this mile and a half handicap.
This is a competitive race. Typewritten, Das Kapital, Hellavaheart and Al Gaiya all bring a similar level of form to the table. Point Louis is interesting stepped up in trip.
Contessa Verde runs in the colours of owner breeders Gary & Lesley Middlebrook and will be led up by Ilse Belien.
