Formscan By Tom Weekes - GAIETY GIRL has run well twice todate and might score on handicap debut. Out of a Group 3-winner and a 24,000gns purchase as a Godolphin castoff last July, the selection was placed in both maidens and is thus eligible for today’s handicap mark. The form of her debut reads well, with the fourth and fifth-placed horses scoring subsequently, and having again run well last month, can win from her 63 rating. Summer Island scored on yard debut last month (beating Beat The Devil) and while slow-starting and a keen-goer, should again compete. Darkdeserthighway has recent form while Jasmine Affanalis is best watched on reappearance from a wide draw.
