Verdict

EXTRA FLING (2) raced handy on debut last start and gave a good sight, holding on for second and beaten a head at Balaklava. Is sure to have come on from that and can break through this time. POLUNIN (4) is a son of Zousain out of True Grace for the sharp juvenile stable of R & C Jolly. Has come along nicely at the trials and can make a bright start. GOODLOOKIN' GURU (6) returns. Was good on debut when in the market and has trialled up well in readiness. Gets a key booking in Holder and is expected to be very competitive fresh. HERE SHE IS (7) is knocking on the door and strips rock-hard fit now. Keeps Crowther and is in the mix. CONTRARY (9) is a King's Legacy filly on debut for the Clarken & Macgillivray partnership. Ticking along nicely at the trials and gets in light with the claim. Worth some thought, especially if there's market support.
