Verdict

REMINISCENCE (10) looks a nice horse on the rise, winning comfortably as the $1.50 favourite over 6 ½f in a CL1 last time. Pike hops back on board now and he lands here third-up and ready to go to another level. He can continue to rise through the grades and he can bring up the hat-trick. ROCK THE MARKET (7) is another looking for the hat-trick, winning in a photo finish last start over 6f when finishing over the top. She's likely to be back in the run again from a tricky barrier, but the rise to 7f can see her go to another level now. Creates plenty of interest. TRIPLE THE CHANT (5) flew home to miss in a photo finish first-up, clocking some strong splits in the process. Out to 7f is a good move, though the wide draw may see him back in the run. Watch for her late in the race. MOONWALK (6) can go on with the job after a good win last time out. DIAMONDS'N'RUBIES (9) is building nicely and can put her best foot forward.
