Expert Analysis

Hard not to be impressed by the eye-catching return from SIGH (9) who boomed over the top of them at Sandown and posted a strong overall rating in doing so. No luck at all second up last prep so no query around her backing up from a fresh win to repeat second time out and if she does repeat here then she is the one to beat. VERMENTINO (6) is unbeaten in three and will have more to offer yet. Still very new and learning on the job. Plenty of talent. STRIPPED BACK (4) was too good first up. Much tougher test for him now but he is winning and improving. PROPICE (10) was no match for Sigh first up but it was a good run and he has clearly settled in well from Hong Kong.
