Verdict
Shustraya can get recent losses back at the expense of Grange Lili, Feelin Foxy and Iza Coming. Having been beaten a short-head by Our Ruby at Leicester in August, Shustraya was to suffer the same fate on her Polytrack bow here seven days ago. Dropped back to five furlongs that day, she came sweeping through to lead a furlong out, but was collared right on the line by Fluttering Rose. It was still a good effort by Peter Makin's filly, and she is strongly fancied to make amends. Grange Lili has found one too good on three separate occasions, but it appears as though connections are still undecided over her best trip, and the feeling is that she may be outpaced by the selection. Feelin Foxy was behind Shustraya last week and lines up on worse terms, while Iza Coming will need another furlong based on the evidence of his debut here. All in all, Shustraya is the one to beat.
