She's A Gambler (11/8), Angel Of England (2/1), Kesteven Rda (11/2), Kode Secret (11/1), Marie's Secret (16/1), Nobility Blue (28/1), Vince L'Amour (33/1), Goldmine Girl (40/1), Good Morning Alex (50/1), Ocean Sound (100/1)

SHE'S A GAMBLER was another Richard Fahey newcomer who was well prepared to make a winning debut and in a run-of-the-mill novice, she's capable of defying a penalty. Vince L'amour showed enough speed starting out at Ripon to make him of interest, with Kesteven Rda a debutante of some interest despite her very cheap price tag.
