Laine’s Peach is a 33-race maiden so her latest second, when just under a length ahead of Scotia Queen, should probably be taken with a pinch of salt. Gaby Vee appears to have two ways of running but Witts Data Link has placed twice at Sam Houston since the turn of the year and was ahead of a subsequent winner on the latter occasion. EBONY NIGHTS’ record, which reads 0-29, is hardly a recommendation but Mark Hibdon’s mare has generally run in better races than this and a return to her best could finally see her get her head in front.
