Verdict

STYLISH EDITION (13) was too bad to be true last start at Doomben when beaten a long way. Heywood's booking signals intent and the addition of blinkers should have her focused. Bold showing anticipated. WASAI (5) only warmed late on debut at Ipswich when settling along way off them. Better for that hitout and keeps Lang in the saddle. Can improve sharply in his second outing and should appreciate the added trip. Similarly, SHE'S A DAME (12) failed to threaten first-up but should've come on from that and will appreciate the rise in trip. LISTING CAPITAL (2) finished fifth last time out over 5 ½f at Beaudesert six-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today and gets the blinkers removed. Not underestimating.
