Verdict

APOLLO BELL (5) is stepping out for the first time. By Foreclosure and hails from the E G Ashcroft stable. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters. ELQUESTRO (7) went back last start and failed to threaten when 19 metres from the winner in seventh at Gloucester Park over 1 5/16m. That effort followed a minor placing at Gloucester Park two runs ago. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce straight back. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (4) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1 ¹/16m at Gloucester Park a week-and-a-half ago. ALLAMERICAN EAGLE (6) is a place chance after a last-start seventh over 1 ¹/16m at Gloucester Park a week-and-a-half ago.
