Verdict

LATIN LIGHTS (7) improving mare with her hoof on the till. Gripped on late at her second run back with a fighting second over 7 ?f here. Ready for this trip from the rails draw. The one to beat. AIRHAWK (1) drifted back early and savaged the line on debut with a narrow fifth over 6f at this track. Can stretch out in trip and make a real race of it. Respect. PLAY IT COOL (4) raced out of his class last start with a fading fourth over 1 ³/16m at Ballina. Gets the claim from the good draw and finds a suitable race. SO SAIN (8) is close to breaking through after finishing runner up at her last two outings. Senior rider hops back aboard and stays in the calculations.
