This may well be the case with Rizeena (37) who won the Coronation Stakes with a bit in hand without clocking a great time.

I don’t know how fast Rizeena could run when running outside of the weak crop of three-year-old female milers but she has now won all five times she’s run on tracks described as testing and earned a rating just as big from me when taking last year’s Moyglare. Normal improvement from two to three would see her earn a rating of around 40 or 41 in her big target, the QEII. That would put her in with a decent chance.
