A Dream Come True came home with a rare rattle to win at Lingfield and can defy her penalty. Support for Star Grazer would make her of interest on her handicap bow whilst Duneen Dream is the other with obvious claims. The selection was racing at around this ten furlong trip for the first time when opening her account earlier in the month. It certainly worked the oracle and she may be able to run up a sequence now that connections have found the key. Star Grazer showed ability in maidens in the autumn and is bred to stay this sort of trip. She's bred to come into her own this year and should leave her juvenile form behind in due course. Duneen Dream won here on his penultimate start and only narrowly missed out last time. He's another pound to carry tonight but looks progressive and should be in the mix once again. Those three make most appeal by far with A Dream Come True preferred.
