Race Tip

BORDER GEM (3) remains a maiden after nine starts however is building towards a bold showing having finished runner up last time out at Hereford. Now goes markedly up in trip and this could bring about significant improvement. LADY CARO (1) landed a course and distance victory here four weeks ago. Holds every chance despite her big weight in an open contest. JENA D'OUDAIRIES (2) proved unable to kick on from her earlier promise. Connections now reach for first time blinkers and market will be the best guide. MISS TIARA (4) is yet to get off the mark. Ran with credit tackling this trip finishing behind the second mentioned last time out. Not to be dismissed.
