KARGESE was beaten only ¾-length by Kala Conti in a Grade 2 over C&D in December and, with the run likely to have brought her on, she's taken to reverse the form with her old rival on these slightly better terms and come out on top. Kala Conti seems sure to put up another bold bid, with Storm Heart and Intellotto others to take seriously following highly impressive starts to their hurdling careers.
