      Verdict

      SCHOOL RUN has given the impression 6f stretches her stamina at this stage of her development and she gets another chance in a weak maiden racing over the minimum trip for the first time. She finished ahead of Highly Focussed at Wolverhampton earlier while Absolutely Awesome has a bit in hand on these terms with Local Artist as the former drops down a grade. Scuzeme showed little in a couple of starts on Turf last year and has his first start since July.
