Race preview
THERAPIST encountered a potentially smart filly on debut last month and, while she needs to take a step forward, the manner in which she breezed past the likes of Mildyjama en route to finishing second created a very favourable favourable impression. The daughter of Dark Angel is an interesting type to be introduced by her powerful connections at this time of year, while strong support for Fortis Regina is likely given her encouraging debut at Newmarket a fortnight ago. However, it is a slight concern that she races in a hood at such a young age and the fact she was slowly away and then met trouble in running suggests she's got a lot to learn. Kristal Klear has an entry in the Redcar Two Year Old Trophy, so also merits a betting check on her racecourse debut.
