ALMA LATINA took a step foward when getting off the mark at Pontefract on her third start and, with further improvement to come upped in trip, she looks to hold strong claims on handicap debut. The biggest threat could come from Central Command, winner of 3 handicaps already this season, with Sir William completing the shortlist.
