One horse that could go well on its second start is Indigo, trained by Mark Usher. This grey daughter of Medicean wasn't disgraced on debut over 5f at Windsor. A wide draw done this athletic filly no favours as she crossed to the rail and was never competitive thereafter. Steve Drowne gave this home bred a lovely introduction without resorting to the whip finishing eighth at odds of 66/1. In some respects that looked a limited effort. However, the form of that maiden has been franked and Indigo wasn't really given a race indicating she will progress with racing. Saxon House Stables rarely have debut winners but their juveniles can go well second start.
Mark Usher said: ''Indigo is a filly I like a lot and should run well.'' He is a fair judge and his comments honest.
This step up to 6f will bring improvement and I would expect a professional performance on this turning course. In my opinion, this looks a five-horse race and if one or two of the fancied newcomers fluff their lines it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see Indigo hold each-way claims at 40/1 [touched 100/1 on the exchanges]. I've certainly seen plenty of fancy priced juveniles with less chance of winning.
Indigo 40/1 4th
