Verdict

MYSTIC CHAOS (12) turned in a career-best rating second-up from a break when raced on speed and finished runner-up. At peak and will sit handy. Looks a top chance to fight out the finish again with repeat of latest. VEXATIOUS ROSE (10) has placed 7/9 so far and will be strongly fancied to get off the mark. Placed only try here, placed only try fresh, and best figures account for these. Best is over a bit further but will be storming home here fresh. KENTUCKY DRIVE (9) is close to a win and maps for the right run. Runner-up latest and will be camped stalking the lead here off the low draw. Should be in the mix. YANKEE ACE (1) rates highly on best figures and has the blinkers removed. Should be an improver. BELLONA GIRL (11) was safely held but in a tougher race last time and can do better here.
