Newbury Race 5 - Visit Malta St Hugh's Stakes (Fillies' Listed)
ACTING LADY (2) Really dug deep when winning by a head last run at Newmarket but taking on stronger competition. Jockey William T Buick rates highly aboard. Will be around the mark at odds. FAST TRACK (9) Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 2nd last start at Goodwood and up against a less competitive field. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Up to these. DUBAI CHARM (6) Did well when 3rd last start at Yarmouth and promising career start. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Performing honestly this preparation and dropping weight. Must be considered. WATEERA (13) Backing up quickly. In the money when 2nd last run at Windsor and showing consistent performance in races. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 3 attempts. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.

Was fighting out the finish when winning last run at Newmarket but challenged by a tougher grade. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Should go close.

Odds of $101.00 and underperformed when 23rd last run at Ascot but taking on easier opposition. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Going well this preparation. Couldn't have in this.
