Verdict
Pixie Loc only landed a low-key contest here on debut from the re-opposing Spike Jones and Spitfire Girl was also second in a four-runner affair on debut when beaten 20 lengths. The scanty form of both races is hard to assess. The Huntingdon third of SAMI BEAR, however, looks fairly strong in comparison, and although a little disappointing next time at the same venue, he is well worth another chance on this return to action. Paddy Husseys Taxi was well supported when fourth on debut and is very much one to keep an eye on in the market again and Reinator is an interesting newcomer for Gary Moore in a race where the betting could prove more than a useful guide.
