Formscan By Tom Weekes - Well-bred TAKE HEART should take beating following a fine debut. Out of an American Grade 2 winning half-sister to Breeders Cup Juvenile winner Pluck, the already-gelded selection attracted market support on debut before finishing well behind experienced rivals. He is likely to improve. Riesling was well held on two runs last year but her second run was in a useful race with the runner-up and fourth-placed horses winning subsequently. She might be better suited by stepping back up in distance. Initial Attempt's initial attempt was encouraging and while well held in December, stumbled leaving the stalls and was reported to have lost a shoe. Best Guess needs to improve from debut while Pulse Light reappears in first-time blinkers. It has been a long, lonely time since Unchained Melody last ran.
