James H B Carr Stakes 2012 tips, preview and selections

There’s never usually much between the three year old fillies over this distance, as the P J Bell showed once again. Outside of the top three or four, they are all pretty even.

I really liked ANGEL OF MERCY’s run in the P J Bell, she flew late. Getting up to 1400m will suit, I can see her swooping late.

HALLOWELL BELLE comes from the different formline, having run third against the older males in the T J Smith Stakes before running third to Pampelonne in the Gosford Guineas last week. Back to fillies company should suit.

EVER THE SAME was good at Canterbury, beating many of these fillies, and she’ll go well again. Jimmy Cassidy’s very confident she won’t be beaten.

And at big odds, FAST AND SEXY goes alright. She ran last at her first run as a three year old at Canterbury, but something appeared to be amiss – she trialled well last week. I think she could be the massive improver.

7 – ANGEL OF MERCY
2 – HALLOWELL BELLE
3 – EVER THE SAME
