SALTA RESTA had the measure of several of these when scoring over course and distance on her handicap debut. She beat Berra Go comfortably with Bang On The Bell and Another Bertie further behind and Vic Dartnall’s filly should make another bold bid. Marsh Benham found one too good at Kempton once again and races off the same mark but Sweet Aroma may improve now handicapping for the first time.
