CHING SHIH is a well-connected filly who shaped well having been strong in the betting on her Newcastle debut 15 days ago, so she's taken to make her second start a winning one with improvement on the cards. Cave Diver showed a good attitude to come out on top at Nottingham and that race looks sure to throw up winners, while Geri Hatrick is the pick of the newcomers before market clues.
