RADIO WAVE caught the eye when doing all of her best work at the finish on her Yarmouth debut in October and with the stable firing she is taken to break her duck today at the main expense of Meeznah and Affinity. The John Gosden-trained selection steps up from a mile to this classic distance today, and that in itself should help her to show her true colours. She is sure to be straight enough to do herself justice and we will side with her. Meeznah had the benefit of a prior run before also going well in a mile maiden on the same day. Again, the extra half mile will suit her well and she looks a serious threat. Affinity did not race at two, but showed up very well on her Polytrack introduction at Kempton last month over 1m 4f. With improvement anticipated she is much respected. The other trio are likely to have to show significant improvement to claim a prize that can go to Radio Wave.
