Verdict
From a low draw, Lotto may be able to land the opener at the expense of the improving Text and Mister Completely. Peter Makin's filly recovered from a tardy start to finish third here on her debut and although only seventh at Lingfield next time, should have learnt from the experience to open her account. On breeding, she should stay a mile next year, but in the meantime can make the most of the weight that she receives from most of the others. Text is going the right way, having improved from making his debut in selling company to a fair third behind the quite useful Chinsola on Lingfield's Polytrack last time. it would be no surprise if he proved up to winning a nursery later this summer. Mister Completely looks held by Lotto on their running at Lingfield but that was the gelding's debut so he is entitled to improve, without being good enough to turn the tables. All in all, Lotto has a great chance with everything in her favour.
