Verdict

Tricky race but happy to side with the upside of HARRIS ROAD (4) who comes here off just a fair effort at Bunbury last time out. His debut performance was quite strong however and that rating stacks up in this field. Expecting him to put his best foot forward third-up. MISS VEUVE (6) has been a touch disappointing her past couple, but her run at this track and trip last month stands out. Back up to the mile today is a big tick for her and she maps to get her chance from a midfield position. Can score a maiden win today. MACHO ARQUERO (1) has had plenty of goes now, but his recent form stacks up in this field. He comes through the same race as Harris Road last start where he stuck on well from up front. Not to be discounted on what he's produced recently. YALDA NIGHT (2) was very good from the back first-up and is not to be discounted. BELLONA GIRL (8) can improve third-up into the campaign.
