    Verdict

    Verasina will be a very popular selection and may thus start at a much shorter price than she should. She did little wrong on her debut and should have learnt a great deal from the outing. However, that run came on firm ground and she has a little to prove in today's conditions. Therefore it may be worth siding with Shersa, who despite having a similar a similar profile, may be able to make the most of a 9lb advantage in the weights.
