T MAXIE scored at Brighton on her handicap debut and first start after wind surgery. Eased down in the closing stages, there looks more to come and she can defy a hike in the weights. Rosa Mystica drops down in class after finishing third at Salisbury when last in action while Nickleby won a maiden race at Southwell at the start of the year. Coup De Force slips further down the weights and is preferred to Smiling Sunflower.
