Verdict

Gladiatrix finally opened her account in a maiden over C&D last month but she'd finished a well beaten third off today's mark in a handicap earlier. SUSHI is preferred as she was having only her third outing when scoring on the Turf at Lingfield last time and has more scope than most of these on her handicap debut. Tidal's Baby went close at Kempton last month and can figure while Represent can race off the same mark as when successful at Salisbury in August with an apprentice's allowance taken into account. Celestial Dawn could prove best of the rest.
