CHILLY FILLY probably found the ground too testing for her at Beverley last time and Mark Johnston's filly looks worth another chance today on her debut in a nursery, getting the verdict over Straitjacket and Caster Sugar. The last mentioned has, like the selection, had just the three runs so far and Luca Cumani's filly looks to be going the right way so has to be considered. Mark Brisbourne's Musical Maze won a nursery at Beverley last month and she ran creditably when finding just River Captain too good at Bath last time off her new mark and she is entitled to be thereabouts once more. John Dunlop's Zaaqya disappointed on her nursery debut at Newmarket last time and now looks best watched, while Maid For Music has been well held in her last two starts but they have been in better races than this so she warrants respect. Richard Hannon's runners in nurseries always have to be of interest and Straitjacket is no exception but Chilly Filly looks well treated and she gets the vote.
