Verdict
Red Star Lady and Twilight Pearl have already been beaten in nurseries while the latter's stablemate, Storma Norma, needs to step up again on her Beverley third if she's to figure here. BALINKA has made the frame in four of her five starts and her latest second to Grey Street in a 6f maiden here looks the best form on offer in this. Mel Brittain's filly can open her account though a market move for Myanne, the first foal of a 5f juvenile winner, would be interesting and she may prove the pick of the newcomers.
