Verdict

COTSWOLD BLUE has made an encouraging start to her career and is taken to make it third time lucky. The Ocean Queen ran out an easy winner on her second outing in points, so is an obvious one to note, while Pit River and Ants Fantasy are others to keep an eye on given the stables they represent.
