A number arrive with chances and it may pay to take a chance on MORNING APPROACH. Having eased in the weights, she caught the eye when fourth in a C&D handicap 26 days ago, finishing with running left at the line, and she remains low-mileage on all-weather. Royal Scholar and the hat-trick seeking Ampeson are others to consider.
