Verdict

PROPERATA (8) has the right profile after tackling Open grade at Belmont Park at his past two runs, beaten a head by Gaintree before covering ground when fourth to Rocktex. Had a two-month freshen and looked good at the trials recently. Hard to beat. SWIFT TALKER (3) is better than two plain finishing positions suggest, with the latest run at Ascot coming after he raced wide and the 4lbs claim helps him rebound. MIND FIELD (2) has been close enough in stronger NMW1Y and 1 Metro Win company, handles wet ground, and his record at the distance keeps him firmly in the mix despite the wide draw. ARIZONA SKY (5) resumes from a five month break and has trialled well, she can sprint well fresh in this line up.

8	Returns from a two-month let-up after a fourth to Rocktex in Open grade at Belmont Park, where racing wide throughout told late. He had missed by only a head behind Gaintree in Open company the start prior, and a solid second in a Belmont Park trial suggests he has been kept up to the mark. Strongest winning case. 1st Pick 8 Properata Jockey: Chris Parnham Trainer: Daniel & Ben Pearce J: Chris Parnham T: Daniel & Ben Pearce	115	-	-	-	46%

3	Had excuses when second last to Javelin Strike at Ascot, beaten two and a half lengths after racing wide in mid-week company. The prior Open run at Belmont Park was also plain, but he has won at this track and distance and the 4lbs apprentice claim eases the top-weight impost. Track-and-trip win keeps him right in the winning mix. 2nd Pick 3 Swift Talker Jockey: Jefferson Tsang Trainer: Simon A Miller J: Jefferson Tsang T: Simon A Miller	108	-	-	-	12%

2	Made late ground after beginning slowly when fifth to My Jimmy in NMW1Y grade at Ascot, beaten two and a half lengths in Saturday company. He had been only a length and a half from Marcos at Belmont Park two back and now finds an easier meeting. Wide barrier is the niggle, but clearly good enough. 3rd Pick 2 Mind Field Jockey: Brad Parnham Trainer: Ryan Hill J: Brad Parnham T: Ryan Hill	125	-	-	-	15%
