Verdict

RADIANT LIGHT (1) just missed fresh before he got thrown into the deep end of the Listed Fairetha Strakes. Outclassed there, but that'll set him up nicely coming back to Maiden grade. Third-up off a break now and looks poised to strike dropping right back in grade. NINETYMILESTRAIGHT (10) is knocking on the door, finishing 0.3L off the winner last start at Ascot. She'll find this much easier coming back to Maiden company. She's found some handy ones among her recent starts and if O'Donnell can navigate the sticky draw, she should be going close to winning. THANK GOD (5) has had a 2f trial since his latest effort in stronger company at Belmont. Back to Maiden company today and the inside draw can see him close to the speed. Can put his best foot forward. REFEMME NO ANGEL (6) comes through a strong maiden first-up here and can feature in the finish. VALANNE DAWN (11) is better than she showed last time out and can bounce back.
