KHABALOV (5) resumes. He showed promise in a four run maiden campaign, fourth on debut behind the talented Lovelycut at Sandown Lakeside. He tackled some horses with Saturday or better class ability last time in and can get off the mark here. MISS ALEXIS (11) is a well-bred filly out of Jameka who ran well in a similar race on debut, finding the line well for a narrow fourth. She may want further but can improve off that and has a good chance. NIC'S CHOICE (6) has been around the mark in three runs this time in, not far away in a small field at Sandown Lakeside last time out. He should be thereabouts. LADY ELSA (9) is a filly by Reliable Man on debut for the Littlefield yard who can run well while HARD TO GO WRONG (1) is a possible improver third up.
