Star Sight has gone close over today’s trip on the all-weather but Saratoga Spirit failed to convince over 1m2f at Lingfield on her handicap debut. OBAMA ARMY finished strongly and was beaten only a length when fourth at Southwell on last week’s handicap bow and this extra distance should suit on that evidence. Kamanika is bred for middle-distances and could also figure while Aussie Mystic should do better now handicapping.
