      Verdict

      Haraka and Dream Team scored over track and trip last month but both are upped a couple of grades off higher marks today. Mia Cara scored over 7f at Wolverhampton and is also raised in class along with Upgrade, who has yet to win anywhere. But WHATSTHEMESSAGE faces an easier task today having contested higher grade handicaps so far. Her ability to handle the surface has to be taken on trust but her yard has a good strike rate at this venue and she’s expected to have come on for a recent outing at Newcastle.
