Verdict

After vast improvement from first run to second Robin Bastiman's JOZAFEEN is given the nod in this maiden ahead of Raleigh Quay and Micky's Bird. Despite the form from her last effort not working out the selection's performance was nonetheless taking as she stayed on well to just be held. Her debut run also shines a favourable light on her so with more expected she can get on top this time. Raleigh Quay had two solid starts before finding improvement last time finishing second best from a well though of Godolphin runner. The form from that race has a strong look about it and Mickey Hammond's charge looks on for another bold show. Micky's Bird found improvement when dropping into selling company on her last run but her maiden form is off putting while No Quarter could get in the places if building on a solid run last time. This race seems all about progression and Jozafeen looks the most likely to kick on again.
