Verdict
This looks between the two James Tate-trained fillies. Bereka failed to land the odds at Kempton on her return to action but looks to have the slightly stronger form, though Luke Morris has abandoned her for SORRY SAEED. The latter kept on well for third here on her debut and presumably much better is expected today. Moonspring was placed over 7f last term and makes more appeal than the remaining pair with headgear applied for the first time on her reappearance.
