There was a lot to like about Darrell Rivers run on the July course last month, her second attempt at 7f having been campaigned exclusively at 6 prior to her start at Thirsk five days earlier. On both these starts she has been held up before finishing well, placed on both occasions. I backed her at Newmarket as she went into my tracker after Thirsk and it take a couple of nice types to beat her, the winner especially. She runs at Hamilton tomorrow in a fillies only race off bottom weight (a 2lb hike for her run in Suffolk looks fair) and I'd be mad keen on her if it wasn't for the fact that she's been stepped up to an extended mile this time. Hamilton isn't that stiff but there is a steady rise to the line and stamina could well be an issue. Having said that she was motoring in the last half furlong on the July course and 8/1 looks very fair in not as good a race - I've gone each way though with that worry about the trip.
