Verdict

PLAYING FOR KEEPS (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.75 metres from the winner in second over 1 ¹/16m at Redcliffe. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets some better types this time but a trip to the winners' circle is not out of the question. MAJOR SLIP UP (4) finished sixth last start, beaten 12 metres at Marburg over 1 ?m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. ROSIE POLLEN (8) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1 m. Must be included. BEAU STEELE (5) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1 ?m at Marburg. Well worth an each-way ticket.
