Disco Ball is on the upgrade and can make the most of the weight that she receives from Home Sweet Home, River Kirov and Roman Quest, with Cheney Hill just another worth bearing in mind. There are plenty in with chances in the final race on the card, but a chance is taken that Disco Ball will improve again to make a successful handicap bow off what looks a fair mark. The Geoff Wragg inmate is well enough bred and can enhance her future paddock prospects here by going one better than when second to the the big whisper Bustin Justin on her last visit to the Berkshire track. That was no disgrace, finishing as close as she did to the Noseda colt, and as there was a 75-rated rival (Aristofilia) back in fifth, her mark of 72 looks quite appealing. Home Sweet Home absolutely bolted up at Windsor but a 6lb penalty will put the anchors on, while River Kirov beat little when fancied at Redcar and has to race off 75. Roman Quest put in a likeable performance at Goodwood, proving that he can handle fast ground, and along with the consistent Cheney Hill, is another that can make things interesting for Disco Ball.
