Fillies Guineas scanty but pumped with class

Whoever prevails in the Fillies Guineas, will at least not encounter traffic problems. Quite few runners, although testing to denote a clear winner from All Over Again, Free Dawn, Pippa, Kenyan Queen or Salt Lake.

Better to zone in on the Gold Cup George Drew Challenge Series where another smashing encounter between Western Ballad, Fast Five, and, Silverstone Air, will rock socks off - especially as it covers an unremitting 3,200m.

Silverstone Air and Western Ballad were locking horns last February in the same situation, so let us soon discover which stellar thoroughbred masters another endurance replay. Fast Five could outwit them both.

Following the evolution of Chicago, is a doddle. He makes racing look like it were made for him. Can't see anything bowling Chicago over in the Graham Trophy, unless Public Hero returns to his youthful ways of flapping his wings in front.
