Shostakova²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox

Is from a speedy family her yard knows well and shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 11 in a 5f maiden at Nottingham (good) on debut 29 days ago. Likely to improve.

17/2

Form:

Forecasts

Handcuffed (13/8), Shostakova (9/2), Angelica Bay (13/2), Brightwalton (15/2), Stellenbosch (17/2), Havana Dance (11/1), Glamour Show (12/1), Crocodile River (25/1), Limegreentangerine (33/1)

HANDCUFFED makes plenty of appeal on paper for a stable going well with its 2-y-os, so she earns the tentative vote before market clues. Brightwalton and Angelica Bay are other newcomers to note, while Shostakova seems likely to improve on her opening effort at Nottingham behind Queen Mary winner Leovanni.
