KING'S MIRACLE may be able to get the better of gambled on Lingfield winner Musashi and the experienced Inquisitress. Jeremy Gask's filly showed a glimmer of ability in maidens before making her handicap bow at this track over seven furlongs. Once again, there was a measure of promise to be taken from that performance and she may be able to deliver over this longer trip. Musashi certainly did deliver at Lingfield when flying through the fog to get up in the closing stages, landing a bit of a touch in the process. He's penalised as a result and it remains to be seen whether he can build on his maiden success. Inquisitress was just over four lengths in arrears at Lingfield so has something to find but she has a good record over this course and distance. Global Quest is thrown in on his form of a couple of years ago and makes a debut for a yard that has landed one or two notable gambles with runners returning from an absence. Any support for him, or indeed for any of the unexposed runners in the field, should be taken seriously but the suggestion is King's Miracle.
