MYRACING.COM SELECTIONS Danni California responded well to first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton when last seen, runner-up to the Winter Oaks fourth, Umm Hurair. She had done her best work late on when trying this trip for the first time at Lingfield prior to that, forced wide on the turn into the straight. The combination of this trip and the headgear can unlock further progression from her. Engrave very rarely runs a bad race over this course and distance and can chase her home
