Verdict
Susiescot just can't get her head in front and she couldn't hold the late thrust of Suzette De Bavay at Naas. She should be better suited by this quicker going and has to be a threat though IMAGINATIONRUNWILD looks the one to be on. Andy Oliver's filly made a tremendous start to her career when runner-up over 7f at the Curragh. She travelled well throughout and only faded in the testing conditions close home so this should be just what's required to lose her maiden tag. Love Is The Key showed promise in three starts last summer while Fixed Gaze did nothing wrong on her debut at the Curragh and hails from a stable in good form.
