Verdict
TWIN FALLS, who makes her debut on the surface, was thought good enough to contest the Group 2 Lowther Stakes at York and wasn't disgraced then appeared to run into a decent filly in Raymonda at the Curragh. She looks to have been found a simple opportunity to open her account. Scatterling looks the obvious danger as she followed an opening run at Galway with a cracking effort over this track and trip where she was beaten less than a length despite being a 150/1 chance. Cafe Nervosa is a half-sister to winning juvenile Steal The Scene and may prove best of the newcomers but the remainder with experience have shown little so far.
