Verdict
Warrant Officer won a seller over C&D in July but hasn't looked like scoring again since. Laughing Rock also landed a selling race on her racecourse debut in September and meets higher rated opponents today. Woza Moya is steadily improving and went close over a mile on the Polytrack last time but AZELLE's third at Newbury looks slightly stronger form and Richard Hannon's filly gets the nod to open her account. Red Eclipse and Strong Conviction are both pretty exposed and hard to fancy.
