Verdict

REFEMME NO ANGEL (6) was solid last start over 7f, bumping into the sharp Cinque Stelle in this grade. He draws much better now though and gets Pike back in the saddle. He's a progressive type on the rise and he's expected to get every chance to return to form. COMMON TOUCH (1) couldn't keep the ball rolling in tougher company last time out on a Heavy deck and getting back onto a firmer surface should suit. Fiore remains on board and he has the speed to roll across from out wide. Expecting a better run this time around. SEARCHIN' TIMES (2) was just fair on resumption but hadn't been sighted publicly prior to that. Should be better for that run and she's been given plenty of time between runs. Expecting sharp improvement. ROAMING AMERICA (7) was solid on resumption here last start and won't be far away. COSMIC TREAT (12) can improve on her recent efforts.
