Verdict

The feature of the day now where HOT AND HIGH (5) looks to extend her unbeaten record. She bolted in to win the Lee-Steere Stakes before the break when third-up and out to 7f last campaign and she's trending the same way here. Fiore was on board for that effort and reunites with the filly today. Can make it six from six. LADIES PRO (8) somehow managed to get the job done last start in an Open 3YO race with The Wizard working his magic in the straight. She's always shaped as a good filly on the way up and ran a strong figure to win last time out. Can go on with the job without surprising. WESTERN ACE (2) is a big price today after a solid return effort where he only warmed to the task late. Likely to get back again, but there's good speed engaged and it wouldn't surprise to see him storm over the top. VATICAN STORM (7) finished off strongly last start and looks set to run well on the back of that effort. WESTBOUND (1) can feature despite being right back in trip today.
