Verdict
Night Bear went close over 1m2f here latest and is sure to prove popular, but it could be worth taking a chance on KOKO BLUE. The Kameko filly largely struggled last term but shaped with real promise when third on her seasonal return/stable debut at Windsor. That effort should have blown the cobwebs away and she can take the necessary step forward. Sarangpur is also noted.
