CREMA INGLESA is fancied to make a nonsense of her outsider status in the Download Fitzdares For Free Race Streaming Fillies’ Handicap (8.05) at Windsor tonight.
Jamie Osborne’s daughter of Lope De Vega scored three times in 2021 before enduring a barren spell last season.
But Crema Inglesa has come down in the weights as a result – her latest success came at Sandown Park in September 2021 from a mark of 73 and she competes from 75 here.
My selection is proven on rain-softened ground and her record fresh – the five-year-old made a winning reappearance at Chepstow two years ago before a narrow return-to-action defeat at Ascot last May – is another good sign.
Osborne’s daughter Saffie will be riding with plenty of confidence after her Chester Cup triumph aboard Metier on Friday and Crema Inglesa should not be underestimated.
At Musselburgh, RIVERSWAY gets the vote to rack up a fifth career score in the Join Racing TV Now Handicap (3.00).
The Julie Camacho-saddled daughter of Camacho has to reverse recent course-and-distance running with top weight Havagomecca , but gets a 5lb pull for a length-and-three-quarter margin and should strip fitter for her first run of the campaign.
