Rogue Tide shaped with promise behind Clog Maker on debut at Kempton but both gave the impression that they’d be suited by an extra furlong. AHORSECALLEDWANDA built on a promising debut here last month by winning by five lengths three weeks ago. She should continue heading in the right direction and may have too much pace for Karibana, dropping back in trip again after placing over 1m and 7f. The latter’s stablemate Dakota Moon is bred for middle-distances.
