OCEAN DRIVE (NAP) made a winning start in a maiden race over track and trip earlier this month and the Haggas filly should make a bold bid now handicapping with Ryan Moore doing the steering. Quothquan went close at Kempton with a below-par Emenem behind but the latter went on to win over a mile at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and had earlier beaten Sadhbh at Kempton. Nastenka scored over today’s trip at Wolverhampton recently but Booshbash failed to cope off today’s higher mark last time having won a lower grade race at Chelmsford before that.
