The frustrating Mashaaer looks worth taking on again. Rakurai has been off the track for over a year so the 340,000gns purchase PUSSYCAT EYES gets the vote to build on last month’s debut fourth at Kempton with this extra distance likely to suit and the Crisfords’ yard in fine form. Dulcet Spirit improved on her first outing for a new yard and looks best of the rest.
