PLAY SMARTER This looks wide open and it may pay to side with Sir Mark Prescott’s SPECTATRICE. She showed definite signs of ability in a trio of maiden/novice events last summer and it’s highly likely there is more to come now handicapping/up in trip. Craft In Silk and Doncaster-scorer Nonsuch Lad are others to consider.
