Verdict

CHA CHING KING (10) looks the one to beat off an encouraging debut here over this trip, in the market but just finding one better in a strong effort. Better for that and will be very hard to run down. MISS NAVRATILOVA (7) resumes having shown ability last time in, just finding one who won well on debut. Drawn nicely here and should be strong late. NAUGHTY JAMIE (8) has been thereabouts in two runs to date, switching to synthetic last time when third. Can improve again and take beating. SOME COMFORT (9) is a mare by Villermont on debut for the local Craig Weeding yard. She's won a jumpout and is worth respecting. BOURDETO (5) has been okay this time in and could improve.
