Verdict

WHO SAZ YES (4) is a lightly raced mare who has gone from racing at Ascot to Rockingham last two and now lands somewhere in between. Hit the line hard to place last time and looks well placed here with the claim. Tough to stop late. MANTA RAY BAY (3) looks to be overdue for a win having placed last two. The start prior to those minors was narrowly beaten this course and distance. Aided by the claim and gets chance. STATE OF FURY (1) is a handy type having first run for the new yard. Has won only try this course and distance though. Expecting a bold run this level fresh. CROWS (2) finished at the tail before a spell but in a hot form race with five subsequent winners at Northam. Looks suited here and can run well on fresh legs. MILITARY JANE (6) strips fitter and is among the chances.
