Falcao won a claimer over 6f here back in April and stays this extra furlong while Mister Freeze was placed over track and trip last month ahead of both Fly True and Disruptor though the latter has subsequently gone close at Kempton. Waitaki was beaten only a neck at Newcastle on her first start for new connections and could go well but ATWAAR has finally got her act together having followed a win at this venue with success over today’s trip at Chelmsford and Charles Smith’s filly looks worth sticking with in her current form.
