In depth

Verdict

Texas Radio journeys over from Ireland having won at Gowran during the summer while this looks easier than Athassel’s recent tasks and he could figure. Caledonia Laird won off a higher mark over track and trip back in May while Zahirah finished closer on last month’s handicap debut and could go well. But SAGUARO is also unexposed and after finishing in front of Athassel when fourth at Kempton on her handicap bow, Sylvester Kirk’s filly may come out best with any further progress.
