In depth
Verdict
Meebo has been placed over 5f on this surface on her last couple of starts and Diamondsinthesky finished third in a maiden race over track and trip last week. But RAZIN' HELL scored here before making the frame in a higher grade handicap last month and a return to winning ways is expected from Alan McCabe's charge in this company. The remainder have shown little to recommend them with Bold Max possibly coming out best after finishing a modest third over the minimum trip here last time.
