Verdict

BELIEVE THE WEST (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.5 lengths away in second after he got a long way back in the run over 5f at this track. Has the class to find the winners' list. CHROME BOY (4) has been right there of late, the latest when 2.75 lengths away in third over 5f here when he was prominent throughout. Will enjoy the drop in grade so he is one of the main contenders. CASTANEA ROSE (12) went forward last start over 5f at this circuit and held on well for second, beaten 4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MIRAGE FLEUR (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 5f at this venue after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has her share of talent and is a definite top-three prospect.
