Verdict
Several raced at Yarmouth 10 days ago where Habanero Star finished third over a mile with Cazeva Princess and Wine Flight behind. But the latter’s stablemate VITARE found only one too good over today’s trip at the same meeting and Mick Channon’s charge may prove the one to side with. Tilsworth Emerald is a sister to a winning sprinter while Luckyangel’s dam scored over 5f and neither would have to be anything special to get involved.
