In depth

Verdict

SARSAPARILLA is making hard work of losing her maiden tag and was placed again when third at Goodwood. But this is easier and with the drop back to 5f likely to suit, the Gosden filly can open her account. Black Sparrow has something to find with the latter on these terms though has ran well at Wolverhampton the last twice while Belgium is another dropping down in trip having faded in the closing stages over 6f on her debut. The remainder are harder to recommend and the newcomer King'slove is bred to be best over longer trips.
