Verdict
Sparks Fly has rattled-up a four-timer on testing ground but is upped in class and has been raised 10lb for her latest success. CHOISYA is preferred as she had to be switched for a clear run when beaten only a nose at Goodwood on her debut on Turf and there looks more to come from the Crisfords’ filly. Just Bring It has a shout back in this lower grade and Venetian placed at Musselburgh a week ago while Indiana Be landed a maiden race at Ripon recently.
