Monmore Race Fields - 21st Nov 2023

This looks a perfect opportunity for CROSSFIELD TYLER (trap 5), whose name can be on the winner's cheque if things go according to plan from the outset. The grader does their bit for Lovers Phantom (trap 1) and it could make a big difference. There's no substitute for the feeling of victory and Halo June (trap 3) is in the mix.

The consensus of opinion is that WINTERFIELD LIZ (trap 5) holds solid claims against these rivals and she does look the one they all have to beat. Blastoff Josifa (trap 4) is often the subject of unrelenting support from punters and she looks a big player. Hiya Missy (trap 1) should not be far away at the death, so is for consideration.

WINTERFIELD ELLE (trap 2) looks set to go off a short-priced favourite against these and it'll be disappointing if she can't claim top honours. Swift Eden (trap 4) should be in the thick of things at the line and is afforded plenty of respect. Michaels Dream (trap 5) continues on a learning curve of the track.

With good reason the shrewd judges will be sniffing around DAVES BLITZ (trap 2) as he seems to hold an ability superiority over the rest of the field. Priscillas Dream (trap 6) is ticking over well and has the credentials to serve it up to the selection. The odds on reward for Global Lagoon (trap 4) tend to be skinny and she may represent little value.

It's not hard to get carried away about the prospects of BOOGY BLU (trap 5) here, as barring accidents or mishaps, she should find this a stroll in the park. Fire Jo (trap 6) would have a massive chance if engaging top gear instantly. Kilara Honey (trap 1) wouldn't have to find much on her encouraging qualifying workouts.

HIGHWAY MARSHALL (trap 3) shouldn't be underestimated and, indeed, if getting the rub of the green, could be the one to annex first prize. Swift Improvise (trap 2) looks the obvious threat although he will need to tread carefully through the early going. Drumdoit Stella (trap 1) is often one of the focal points in the market and can be shortlisted.

TABULE (trap 1) seems to be heading in the right direction after her lay-off for season and may find nothing in her way today. Drumdoit Theo (trap 2) shouldn't be leaving empty-handed and looks the obvious danger. Bloos Boy Rookie (trap 3) is in fine form and could put the cat amongst the pigeons.

WINTERFIELD LAD (trap 5) ticks a good few boxes against this level of opposition and he can establish his superiority over these before swinging for home. Whittle Emmet (trap 2) often carries support of a fair few punters and they'll expect a big run. Helicopter Wilma (trap 1) has a strong following and those fans will probably be sniffing around again.

BALLYMAC CLINE (trap 5) invariably carries the hopes of many and she can be expected to retain the faith for what looks like a winning chance. Final Friend (trap 2) is running his cotton socks off and won't be shy in this field. Millbank Oreo (trap 6) has recent winning form so knows how to finish the job if a chance arises.

RIDGEDALE SPICE (trap 4) is far enough out of season to do herself justice and she wouldn't need to come forward much to show these the way home. Britbull Capone (trap 2) is a leading contender and he can be in the thick of the action when it matters. Recent winner Dynamic Legend (trap 3) knows the score and shouldn't be underestimated.

WINTERFIELD JACK (trap 2) looks to hold sound credentials in this line-up and should be there or thereabouts at the business end. Crowvalley Megan (trap 4) would be dangerous if able to employ smash 'n' grab tactics. Race With Belle (trap 1) will be in there pitching from the outset and should not be far away.

AERO MAESTRO (trap 2) has shown enough to be in charge of a race of this nature and his fans will have little hesitancy in suggesting he is the one to beat. Will the class drop mean a starring or supporting role for Barnfield Barra (trap 1)? Alien Bluefire (trap 4) is in with a chance of making the frame with a clear run.
