      Verdict

      Chica Bonita’s dam was speedy and she cost 82,000gns so the newcomer is preferred to twice-raced stablemate Twilight Lucy but she could find the experience of POLASTRI too hot to handle. Richard Fahey’s filly defied market expectations to finish second over 6f at Catterick on debut and the drop back to 5f should not be a problem on this stiffer track. Mirror Kisses is another likely improver but Khabib, the only gelding in this maiden, wears blinkers on his introduction.
