Verdict

EUROPEAN (4) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.6 lengths of the winner in second last start over 4 ½f at this track on debut. Will be better with that race experience now under the belt and is sure to go well again. The well-related AERIALIZE (11) (half to G1 winner Capital Gain) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Narromine over 4f, beaten 1.2 lengths. Strips fitter now and gets a great chance to break her maiden status. DANCE THE BOOGIE (12) finished ninth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 5f at Pakenham Synthetic. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. He Xiangu (6) could only manage to finish seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 5 ½f at Wodonga. Gets McDougall on board and appeals as a top-four contender.
