Verdict

BEST LEON (13) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when third over 1 m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Has the class to produce another win. TIERED (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BUILD RAPPORT (9) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only a neck over 1m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Should be right there. ERZ (6) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
