Verdict
Sir Mark Prescott started SAVANNA LA MAR off on Polytrack at Kempton where she made a good impression in finishing runner-up to the expensive and well supported Discernable. She'll be very unfortunate to come up against one of her quality and should go one better. Lady Margaeux caught the eye on her debut and showed the benefit with a narrow defeat at Carlisle but it's Pira Palace who looks more of a threat. She's a half-sister to a 6f juvenile winner and showed enough potential on her debut at Kempton to suggest she'll be winning soon. Tough Lady ran very well on her debut at Hamilton but poorly at York and that couldn't have been her form.
