SUPAVERDI is taken to complete a hat-trick at the main expense of Secret Knight and Feeling Fab. Feeling Fab had a successful juvenile career, winning twice, including a valuable Newmarket nursery. She will be fitter for her re-appearance which came in a hot handicap, where she ran a little too freely. Secret Knight was trying to follow up a Lingfield all-weather success when finishing third at Doncaster last time. The grey mare travelled well that day, but her amateur rider allowed her to veer off a straight path in the closing stages and she can go well here. Supaverdi lost her maiden tag at Wolverhampton in December and was well supported when overcoming trouble in running to score at Bath recently. Only being raised five pounds may be generous to this lightly raced progressive type, and Supaverdi can score again.
