It will be interesting to see how the market shapes up for the two newcomers but they will need to be useful to get the better of TRADE CENTRE, who is preferred to Dareh. Mark Johnston's filly has been third in all three starts so far and deserves a change in fortune but she may have to settle for minor honours again. Jamie Osborne has his string in good form right now so his runner, Christmascametwice, who is bred for speed being by Monsieur Bond, has to be considered first time up, while David Simcock's Mr Greeley filly Wild Cat Card has to be considered. Willie Muir's Trade Centre made a highly encouraging debut when finding just Just Timmy Marcus too good at Wolverhampton and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice.
