TOES IN THE WATER (3) was beaten a neck here having her second race start and there was a stack of merit in the performance. She raced keenly in the early and middle stages and was three wide throughout. Is sure to have come on and keeps the handy 6.6lb claim. Promising and in good hands. GATCHAN (6) closed in fast with the above when just beaten in the same contest. She's an improved galloper who's also a winning chance. ADOLPHUS (1) trialled well and was heavily bet at the Sapphire Coast on debut and didn't have the best of it. The Matt Dale barn clearly has an opinion. Bensley stays in the saddle and the Rubick gelding is worth another chance. GALAXY REIGN (5) resumed in the Toes In The Water race and made ground after a slow start. In the mix.
