9/4

Got off the mark trying sprinting for the first time when won 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9/4) 11 days ago, getting up in the dying strides as stamina kicked in. Merits consideration.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: R Brisland| OR: 59

16/1

16/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 26 days ago, doing too much too soon under an agressive ride. Not easy to weigh up at present.

RAINBOW MIRAGE looks a filly on the up for Mark Rimell and she's taken to double her career tally under the talented Laura Pearson. Soyounique rates an obvious danger back at this trip having needed every yard to get up trying sprinting for the first time at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, with Gonzaga next on the shortlist.
