LADY GALA (10) managed to take another step forward when second in a 1400m fillies maiden following an earlier 1300m third. Her steadily improving turf form sets the standard. LION MAN (5) chased home a rival on debut attempting 1200m despite very soft conditions and has ample scope for this longer assignment. SPRING CAT (12) progressed from sixth on testing ground to finishing runner-up tackling course and distance after encountering a sounder surface. That turnaround merits respect. TATLI AKYÜZ (7) collected consecutive minor placings including one behind the leading pick. Greater experience gives her some appeal against a competitive field.
