Verdict

ACCELERE (4) resumes from a spell of 14 months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1 ¹/16m at Redcliffe. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. SNEAKY PHILTRA (7) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Went back last start then worked home in good style to finish 2.5 metres from the winner in second at this track over 1 5/16m. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Leading hope based on recent form. HESASTAR (5) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1 5/16m at this track last time out. DAYLIGHT (6) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at this track over 1 5/16m.
