CLASSIC TIMES made a mockery of her opening mark when making a winning handicap debut in good style at Sandown recently. She's been hit with an 11 lb hike in the weights, but this well-bred filly remains unexposed and may well be equal to the task. The consistent Anjo Bonita took another step forward when bagging a York handicap last month and looks sure to be in the mix, while both Zarabanda and Fiver Friday arrive here in good form, too.
