Race Overview

SPARKLE (2) can make a bright start to Newmarket Day. She turns out quickly from last week where she took a big step in the right direction after lookign in need of the race first time out. 2000m with a good run under the belt looks a lovely spot for her. SHOCK 'EM OVA (4) is also third up. He couldn't reel in ALVERDUN (1) around the Valley last time but his late splits showed him closing that margin down at the finish and he gets that one on better terms now. He can turn the tables though Alverdun won't go down lightly. INDEPENDENT ROAD (3) has strung together good efforts this prep and his ratings are good for this. Doesn't have the upside of that trio but he is right in this..
