Verdict

Mambo Light gets the tentative selection although the market should be informative with regard to the newcomers. The race in which the selection ran in on debut is beginning to work out well. The second, fourth and fifth all won on their next outings and the winner is well regarded. She's entitled to have improved for the experience and is the one to beat. That said, there are a number of well bred newcomers in opposition from big yards and if the vibes were to be positive about the likes of Africa's Star, Gal Aloud, Hosanna and Honest Quality then it would set the alarm bells ringing. We're dealing with unknown entities at the moment though and Mambo Light's form is enough to earn her the vote.
