Strategise has been placed in a couple of sellers on the Tapeta recently but is hardly progressive. Neither is ESSAKA but Mick Channon's colt has been taking on much better company than this and Richard Hughes' booking has to be a positive. He gets 5lb from Smart Stepper, penalised for landing a poor contest at Redcar two runs ago. Jimmy's Girl is a Polytrack winner while Penalty Scorer has been placed four times, though has had 13 runs.
