Verdict
Westernesse is by Camelot so likely to need further but Gloria Rose looked an improving filly behind stable companion Angel Girl last week though the one to take from the latter race is Shining Crystal, who was only just behind on her debut. Hypernova, who finished a close second, has had his chances though it will be a surprise if he's not competitive again. Tawaazon was narrowly beaten in a handicap last month and should be winning soon but SILK DAMASK has been showing very good speed over further and the drop in trip can enable her to get off the mark. Colin Keane is an interesting booking for Tiny Bit.
