None of these inspire confidence but SPARKLING SAPPHIRE was placed on her last couple of visits to the track and may be good enough. Riverlynx posted a better at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut without threatening the winner while Call Me Crockett also made the frame at the same track in October and is 2lb lower today. The remainder have even less to recommend them though it would be no surprise if Miss Excellence takes to the surface and finishes a lot closer.
