In the Whitsbury Manor Stud Bibury Handicap (4.10) at Salisbury on Wednesday,
The daughter of Helmet has improved
with every run so far, but has never won by more than half a length
and appeals as the type who may continue to frustrate the official
assessor for a little while yet. With proven ability of the
prevailing good to firm going, no stamina doubts and her trainer and
jockey in fair form of late, Burgonet has plenty going for her. She
races against colts for the first time in handicap company, but off a
feasible mark, she’s just the sort of progressive filly that we
should be looking out for. Mark Johnston has a 7-28 (25%) strike rate
at Salisbury over the last five seasons, so the statistics offer
further cause for optimism.
Selection: Salisbury 4.10
Burgonet to win 3/1
