In depth
Verdict
Cases can be advanced for most but ELECTRA STAR remains on a feasible mark, is a model of consistency and reliability and operates over her optimum trip. She's a safe option, although Raasekha also makes appeal on the back of a promising maiden success over C&D. However, despite being open to plenty of improvement, the handicapper hasn't taken any chances with her and she will need to progress considerably to handle the selection. Certral has come on in leaps and bounds since taking a Newmarket claimer apart from a major disappointment over much further last time. She has a fair turn of foot and will relish the return to a mile off this mark. Submission will also appreciate the drop back to handicaps from Listed level, whilst Azameera, seeking a hat-trick, is up an acceptable 3lb for a battling Salisbury success.
