Verdict

Caturra Lights showed promise prior to his excusable effort last time and is fancied to come out on top in what looks a trappy nursery. Last-time-out winners Call Nicki and Tango Hotel look the chief threats.

1	Showed plenty of promise when placed in maidens at Musselburgh and Chester on his first 2 starts. Had the worst of the draw when down the field in a novice at the latter track last time and can be expected to fare better now tackling a nursery. 1st Pick 1 Caturra Lights Jockey: Jack Nicholls Trainer: Adrian Keatley J: Jack Nicholls T: Adrian Keatley	100	-	-	-	36%	Scratched

3	In the frame on all 4 starts prior to putting that experience to good use when landing a 7-runner C&D maiden last month, beating Bellatina by 2¼ lengths. The runner-up went close in a nursery off a mark of 65 next time, so she must be respected now tackling one herself. 2nd Pick 3 Call Nicki (Ire) Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	96	-	-	-	63%

2	Showed improved form in first-time cheekpieces when landing a 5-runner soft-ground maiden at Ffos Las by 2¼ lengths from Defiant Dream. She faces very different conditions now tackling a nursery and needs to prove herself at least as effective away from soft going. 3rd Pick 2 Tango Hotel Jockey: Daniel Tudhope Trainer: George Scott J: Daniel Tudhope T: George Scott	98	-	-	-	56%

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Also Eligible

A horse that is entered but does not draw into the body of the field due to too many entries, and thus is not permitted to start unless there are enough scratches to shrink the field size.

Dead Heat

Two or more horses finishing so close at the wire, that they were unable to be separated on a photo finish and deemed to have tied.
