... I never write these things so don't laugh >_>
As the sun edges towards the horizon, six frisky fillies are loading into the gate for the first British trial this year.
Rhapsody Stable's Djinn is the favorite despite her failing to win in her most recent starts. Her win in the American Davona Dale Stakes must be cemented in the minds of bettors. Riverside's Rhapsody is a close second choice, as this black filly has just started to find her feet in her recent starts after a long hiatus. Turn & Burn's Sagittarius has had a number of in-the-money finishes recently and is just a hair behind Rhapsody with the bettors.
Hard Tack Stables rounds out the card with three talented fillies with slightly longer odds - probably only because they have only just come back from hiatus and the bettors aren't sure of their condition. However, Kyoto Kitten rarely finished out of the top 3 in all her prior races, while Chiricahua is the daughter of a Breeder's Cup winner, and Messalina's sire won the 2017 Kentucky Derby as well as other notable races on dirt - so she will try to emulate that spirit on the turf as she starts preparing for the 2019 1000 Guineas.
