In depth
Verdict
Keeper's Choice showed little on his first run for new connections and is best watched at present but there was plenty to like about OUTER SPACE’s comeback run at Windsor as he almost slipped up at halfway. Granted better luck today, John Flint’s veteran may be the one to be on with Deputy Star proving modest at Newcastle. Purbeck Hills was second over this trip at Goodwood but probably needs further with Boorowa a better bet on her second at Kempton in March.
