SHEPHERD MARKET found only Hikmaa, rated 101, too good in Listed company at Newbury on her reappearance. She’s yet to race on ground this fast but has the strongest form on offer. Orsera tried her luck in a Listed contest at Newmarket in November but failed to figure and Feline Groovy may improve past her having shown promise when runner-up at Headquarters on her debut. Labrega went close over track and trip on her reappearance and is preferred to both Nkosikazi and Watheeqa.
