Newmarket Race 3 - Betway Rockfel Stakes (Fillies' Group 2)
SPIRITED GESTURE (9) Kicked clear when winning by 3L last time at Newcastle but up in class. Ultra competitive this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs and gets some weight taken off. Deserves consideration. MISS MINIVER (2) Dictated terms in front when winning by a margin of a head last time at Salisbury but taking on stronger competition. No shock to see a win. LIGHT OF DAWN (1) Rounded them up to win last run at Goodwood and solid career start. James Doyle and Keiran Burke are usually competitive together. Winning hope. SPEED OF SOUND (8) Dictated terms in front when winning by a margin of 1 3/4L last run at Doncaster and solid career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Drawn nicely. Will give a big sight.

Stormed home to win last run at Goodwood and putting a tidy record together so far. James Doyle and Keiran Burke have a high strike rate together. Should go very close.

Made all when winning by a margin of a head last time at Salisbury but challenged by more formidable competitors. William T Buick rates highly aboard. Will go close.

Finished well when winning last run at Ascot but testing ability against stronger contenders. Jockey Silvestre De Sousa is in form for this yard. Watch betting.

Odds of $26.00 and tailed off to finish 8th last time at Goodwood but showing consistent performance in races. Oisin Murphy and Jennie Candlish deserve serious consideration as a team. Will struggle to compete in this race.

Backs up quickly. Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at Ayr. Place claims at best.

Led throughout to win by a margin of 1 3/4L last run at Doncaster and will try to take advantage of the draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Spaced the field to win by 3L last time at Newcastle but rising in grade. Going well this campaign winning 2 from as many attempts. Displays good tactical speed. Chance and can measure up.

Rocketed home when winning last run around here and good career start. Won last 2 on the bounce. Likely to get back in the run. Can run into the placings.
