Verdict
Doctor Mozart is enjoying a hot run of form on the all-weather and a new mark of 65 is within his range. However, he remains 0-8 on turf and therefore is somewhat reluctantly passed over. Class Member is a maiden after half a dozen starts but her overall profile is fairly sound. She's also been dropped a couple of pounds and tries the minimum trip for the first time. Pierce has time to progress further but JAX EDGE makes most appeal off joint bottomweight and Gina Mangan claims a further 3lb. Mangan has been in the saddle for both of the filly's successes, one of them here, and they were not beaten at all far last time in what rated a better race at Salisbury. Destiny's Spirit and Fragrance look to have something to find at present.
