Verdict

OLAF THE SNOWMAN (3) has returned in good order, bumping into a good winner last start at Northam. The winkers go back on today as he stretches to 1m for the first time. Draws the inside again here third-up and he looks to get every chance. Can go one better this time around. VEXATIOUS ROSE (9) missed narrowly on resumption when closing strongly from midfield, finishing 0.3L off the winner. She looks better suited out to this trip now and improvement is on the cards second-up. Her form last campaign reads well and a return to that level will see her hard to hold out. MISS SANTA CORRS (8) is knocking on the door of a maiden win, finishing 0.7L off the winner over 1 ?m here most recently. The form out of that race has been strong and she showed good early speed there. Will be in the finish again. MAJOR MAGNUS (2) is worth including on the back of a strong last start effort.
