MEDITERRANEAN SEA keeps finding a bit more improvement and registered a course hat-trick when scoring over 1m3f last month. She began her winning run with a victory over C&D and is worth sticking with until beaten. Storm Hawk's recent resurgence came to an end three weeks ago when well beaten over 2m here along with First Rock, but Magic Millie had little chance in a conditions race last time and a much better effort is expected from her. Ace Serve made a promising reappearance at this track last month and may figure as he's open to plenty of improvement.
