Spirit Of Nicobar was still beaten a long way when third at Southwell though should finish closer today. But NETTE ROUSSE is preferred having also finished third at Sandown on her latest start in a much tougher contest than this weak affair. Today’s extra distance will suit and Ralph Beckett’s filly will likely start at prohibitive odds given the remaining trio have yet to show any worthwhile form.
