Nagini appeared to take a big step forward here a couple of weeks ago. If she has turned the corner, Timothy Hamm’s filly would take all the beating in this but it’s probably about time BELLA LINDA was getting her head in front. She may lack an extra gear but will be staying on in the closing stages if she gets a run from her inside berth, though she’ll need to reverse form in February with Dakota Beach who also has decent claims and holds Pact on recent running.
