Verdict

BESTON STREET (2) has the most solid recent platform after finishing third at this track over 7f when sent out favourite. The return to 6f asks a question given his record around the trip, but he is race-fit, has already placed at this venue and brings the strongest exposed form. ANDERSHINE (6) has clear upside from a debut fourth at this track, where he was slow away, held up near the 1 ¼f and still finished within just over a length of Aldezor. Better for that run and this looks to shape nicely. Can make an impression. ALOT OF DESIRE (7) is the debut runner with genuine interest after two Belmont trials, both for third, and Natasha Faithfull is a positive booking from barrier one. DIVER DAN (3) comes through a CL1 fourth at this venue when beaten just under two lengths as favourite, and that form back in maiden company gives him a genuine chance to land in the money or better. EIGHT COUNT (5) can improve back to this level.

2	Held his ground well when third at this track over 7f, beaten just under two lengths after being sent out favourite and racing prominently. The run was a clear lift on his Belmont Park ninth on soft ground, and he is fit enough now to hold that level. Ear muffs coming off is a big tick and he can land the knockout blow this time. 1st Pick 2 Beston Street Jockey: Jason Lyon Trainer: Albert Bowtell J: Jason Lyon T: Albert Bowtell	142	-	-	-	20%

6	Did enough on debut at this track to be a serious improver, finishing fourth to Aldezor and beaten just over a length despite being slow away, held up near the 1 ¼f and racing keenly in the straight. He was respected near the top of betting, now gets a 7lbs claim and has blinkers going on. Can improve with out in trip and with the debut run under his belt. 2nd Pick 6 Andershine Jockey: Sharni Webster Trainer: Kim C Anderson J: Sharni Webster T: Kim C Anderson	106	-	-	-	46%

7	Makes his debut with two Belmont Park trials behind him, both resulting in third placings, so there is at least a measured fitness base for his first race-day assignment. He was a $40,000 Perth Yearling Sale purchase and draws barrier one with Natasha Faithfull booked. Trial form worked out on Wednesday and he makes plenty of appeal on debut at this level. 3rd Pick 7 Alot Of Desire Jockey: Natasha Faithfull Trainer: Mack Hall J: Natasha Faithfull T: Mack Hall	47	-	-	-	10%
