Ocala and Geetanjali will be hoping conditions dry out but both are conceding weight to a couple of well-bred progressive fillies in Nearooz and ROMOLA. The former will be having just her fourth race and does not need to improve much from her handicap bow. However, the selection may be more streetwise and looked ready for this trip when third in a hot race at Chelmsford last time. Red Hot will find this easier but she still appears to have a stiff task at the weights.
