Verdict

PRINCESS DU FER (1) is racing well with four placings on the trot, the latest effort a third at this circuit and distance. Close to a win and the ace draw gives her the chance to break through. ALDEBARAN ZANE (4) has been about the mark consistently, placing for the fourth time in his last five starts when third in the 4YO Foundation Final at this circuit and distance last start. This looks a suitable assignment. TIGER TEE (3) recovered from an early break for fourth here last time. Draws well and is a player with manners. ADDICTIVE STRIDE (7) was let down by manners last start but came from a similar draw to this for second when resuming here two back. Worth another chance.
