        Verdict

        There is little between these at the weights but Johni Boxit faces a tougher task than when landing a seller at Yarmouth last time. Episcia, Scenery and Super Major have all placed in selling races recently with the former preferred having gone close over today’s trip at Brighton but a chance is taken MORETTI can do better than that. She started the season racing off an 8lb higher mark in handicaps and finished in front of Tember when fourth at Wetherby last month. Today’s drop in class may see David O’Meara’s filly off the mark.
