Verdict
REACTION gets the vote to land this nursery with Key Signature and Calahonda put up as the main dangers. The selection drops back to seven furlongs here having raced over a mile and nine furlongs on his last three starts. The maiden which Reaction contested at Windsor last time saw him outclassed and he didn't shape as one that saw out the trip as he travelled well but weakened badly in the closing stages. A true run seven furlongs should bring out the best in him and he could be the value in a competitive race. Key Signature made a very pleasing handicap debut at Sandown, the form of which has worked out well while his maiden form has also been franked in recent weeks. He is now 5lb higher for that second placing at Sandown but his profile is progressive. However a slight worry exists with regard to the form of the stable who enjoyed such a good run throughout the summer. Calahonda was beaten last time in what looked a good Newmarket nursery. She did not look at ease on the fast ground there though and any easing in the ground will be to her liking. Appraisal recieved an easy lead when breaking his maiden tag at this venue on his penultimate start and was not disgraced at Newmarket last time in a hugely competitive sales race where he raced down the centre but all the action unfolded on the stands side. The step back up to seven furlongs will suit Appraisal. Perfect Citizen was well backed to win at Newmarket last time but failed to get involved. Dropped 2lb from that he would have chances on his previous two runs but the Swinburn yard continues to struggle to find winners. Reaction is selected to win this nursery for the Mick Channon stable.
