Verdict

Tremelo Pointe can make her first venture into handicap company a winning one, with Global Traffic, Brave Quest and Linlithgow all likely to make their presence felt. Tremelo Pointe made the best possible start to her career when successful at Southwell a fortnight ago, running on well at the finish despite hanging to the left under pressure. She will have learnt a lot from that initial introduction, and on breeding will relish the step up in trip and switch to Turf. She starts handicapping on a mark of 68 and should have plenty of improvement in her. Global Traffic has been profitable to follow on the all-weather, reeling off three on the bounce at Wolverhampton in January. However, he looked to be struggling with his weight rise when the winning run came to an end last time, and is worth taking on again. Brave Quest is still a maiden, and was flattered by his third to Surrey Spinner at Lingfield recently. That was however his first run of the year, and some improvement is anticipated. Linlithgow starts handicap life off what could be a fair mark and is one to watch, but for now it should pay to stick with Tremolo Pointe.
