Handicap (Class 4
THE CAPTAIN J C STEWART FILLIES’ HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a one mile handicap race for three-year-old and upwards fillies and mares which have been rated from 61 to 80. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a filly rated 80 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 75.

BETTING FORECAST: 13-8 Wise Judgement (IRE), 4-1 Finally Mine (USA), 9-2 Omany Amber (GB), 15-2 Celtic Empress (GB), 9-1 Mere Green (IRE), 12-1 Sienna Dream (GB) RACE SUMMARY: WISE JUDGEMENT was gambled on and duly showed improved form to make a winning handicap debut on reappearance at Beverley 9 days ago, benefiting from an enterprising ride from the front. She could be dangerous if allowed to dictate again so gets the nod to follow up under a penalty. This further drop in trip should suit Finally Mine so she’s feared most, ahead of Celtic Empress. 1-2-3: 1.WISE JUDGEMENT (IRE) 2.FINALLY MINE (USA) 3.CELTIC EMPRESS
