Verdict
CALLIANASSA had been acquitting herself well in stronger company prior to belatedly shedding the maiden tag at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago. Pulling clear with an improver then, that form has a solid look to it and she could be worth siding with to follow up back on turf. Ziggy's Condor, Abduction and Bajan Bandit are others to consider, along with Oriental Prince.
