Verdict

Just a modest event to get proceedings under way but a chance for the filly GEMINI to build on her fair run over C&D two starts ago with the talented Jason Watson booked to ride. Handicap debutant Jaguar may prove the biggest danger as he is open to some improvement and could go well if taking to the first-time blinkers. Top weight Doctor Jazz is no great shakes but should be competitive at this level, while Altaira won over 1m2f here last time and surprisingly steps up in trip. The rest look much of a muchness and have it to do.
