Verdict

RAZANNE (9) resumes for her second campaign. She showed good ability in three runs last time in, beaten a head on debut at Sale before two more solid efforts when well backed. She can improve this time around and takes catching from out wide. ATELLA MISS (8) is knocking on the door with three minor claims this time in and will be at peak fitness. She won't need to improve much to be taking care of these up on speed. BJORSON (2) outperformed his big price on debut here when getting into third behind a handy one. He should only be better for that and has to be taken seriously now. MORDU (6) has placed in both starts to date and now steps up in trip. Look for him flashing late. TRUE LIES (10) was much better second up and is in the mix now.
