CITY OF STRANGERS (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 5 lengths over 1200m at Redcar. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she is a key runner. MONTICRISTO BOY (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1020m at Southwell All Weather after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. RUMBA BAY (2) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the bend at Pontefract, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $4.30. Worth noting Rossa Ryan goes aboard. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DARK SORCERESS (9) was easily accounted for when fourth last start over 1220m at Wolverhampton, beaten 4 lengths after a good first-up win at Chelmsford. Finds a suitable race and can figure prominently.
