Trainer taking a punt here but she's a believer.
Remarks
Stipe Comment last start: Dolcetto - Had to be firmly restrained to avoid heels 900m, rider advised after having to steady had been inclined to lay out and with middle stages being run at a moderate tempo had been caught flat-footed when asked to quicken adding would be better suited by some easing of the ground
