    Best of luck with your selections Richard.

    5.25 - Newmarket:
    Oakley Girl. 2 pts win. Available at 7/1.
    Imshivalla. 1.5 pts win. Available at 8/1.
    The only non-Juvenile race on the Newmarket card is this Fillies handicap over a mile. The lightly raced three year old Zaaneh is open to plenty of improvement but preference is for Oakley Girl and Imshivalla. Oakley Girl won on her fourth start when she was stepped up in trip to ten furlongs on the A/W at Lingfield in August. Her two outings in handicap company since have seen her not beaten far, the last of them coming over an extended mile at Epsom. Both came on G/S ground so the overnight easing in conditions here will suit and she gets in here off bottom weight. She has a progressive profile and the booking of David Probert, who has a 20% strike rate for the yard in recent seasons, takes the eye. A strong pace could bring her stamina into play late on.  Imshivalla let us down last time out at York but she wasn't beaten far in a better race. She has been in good form since the Summer and her races prior to York had suggested she was still finding a bit of improvement. She has a good strike rate and, although four pounds above her highest winning mark, she may not be done for the season just yet. Her jockey arrives with just the two Richard Fahey booked rides and has to wait around for three hours for the privilege of riding this one.
