Dramatic Touch, Go On Jessica and Darling Belinda are the three to look at here and Dramatic Touch is taken to make a winning debut. Go On Jessica has been placed in claimers and although off the track for six months, she is a good yardstick here. She looks capable of reaching a place once again although she is the most exposed runner in the field. Darling Belinda has shown good ability in each of her last two starts, finishing well in third on both occasions. They were in nurseries on the all weather, and her form is the best in the race. She looks sure to play a prominent role. Dramatic Touch is a daughter of Royal Applause out of a Warning mare so clearly has speed in her pedigree. She hails from the Geoff Wragg yard and a chance is taken that she will be ready to score first time out. Dramatic Touch is the selection.
