Strawberry Moon, Jaconet, and Tawzeea are the three to look at here, with the once raced Strawberry Moon taken to improve for a very promising debut. Tawzeea ran well on her handicap bow at Ripon, and is the highest rated runner in the field. She is the one they all have to beat but she has been beaten in four starts and may be beaten again. Jaconet was tried at the minimum trip last time, and ran a decent race, staying on in the closing stages. This extra furlong should suit, but others may be quicker. Strawberry Moon was slowly away on her Pontefract debut, but she kept on well to be second, without getting near the winner. She hails from an in form yard, and Strawberry Moon may be a ble to progress sufficiently to claim this.
