Verdict
Suzi's Decision is rapidly making her way up the ratings scale and if connections are right in believing that she could be a pattern class filly in the making, then she should be able to go close here. A winner last time out at Leicester, she endured a nightmare passage throughout that event but when switched to launch her challenge she showed a good turn of foot. This represents a further step up in class, against fillies open to a lot of improvement but one suspects Paul D'Arcy's filly, despite her busy schedule of late could still be on the upgrade. Caprivi struggled to justify odds-on favouritism and a mark of 82 sets her a stiff task considering the second in that contest Saleima is struggling to win off marks in the 70s. Boucheron is another twice raced filly that deserves respect although it is hard to get a handle on the worth of the form of her Pontefract victory over twelve furlongs. She set out to make all the running there and while she is unlikely to get a soft lead here, her rider will be keen to make it a test from the outset. Crystal Capella won a poor Newcastle maiden last time but given connections record with horses of this type she merits respect while all of La Sarrazine's turf outings have been with an ease in the ground. An interesting fillies handicap and Suzi's Decision is the selection.
