Zarga wasn’t beaten far on debut and a subsequent fifth at Goodwood is working out really well with the second, third and sixth all winning since and the winner finishing second in a Group 2 at Deauville. RUN SIMBA was fourth that day, however, despite showing signs of inexperience and also has bags of scope. Cochin was also an eye-catcher at Salisbury with Twilight Kiss, Fox Flame and Sisyphus Strength other likely improvers. Shining Jewel is a half-sister to two winners and should be a force to be reckoned with over middle-distances next year.
