        Verdict

        OBAMA ARMY won over track and trip before going close again at Ffos Las and gets another chance. Lunanera finished third behind the selection on his first start for a new yard while Magnanimous Mehmus steps up in trip on only his second outing for Darryll Holland. Believe You Me won over 7f here to open her account while Lunar Landscape has been thereabouts on softer ground lately and gets a change of headgear
