Helen Coughlan Stakes 2024 Preview

Track: Soft  Weather: Fine

ComradeRosa sparks interest. She was solid resuming in the Victory Stakes and strikes a more suitable race. Hard to knock what CoeurVolante has done to date and looks primed to take this out fresh. Facile won well last start but does mix its form a lot. Can win if on song. Moesha comes up with a nice draw and is due for a win this prep while GreyRiver is an in interesting runner with Allen doing the steering coming off the back of a solid third.
