The likes of Nellie Deen and Pacohontas are thoroughly exposed and Amber Mystique may be heading in the same direction after placing again on her belated reappearance at Newcastle. Galinthias found only one too good on his introduction over track and trip but TIFL did likewise at Kempton and Heather Main’s Approve gelding would almost certainly have made a winning debut had he not blew the start – compensation awaits. Raise The Game has his first run on Polytrack while the market may be the best guide to what’s expected from German-bred filly Wahiba.
