Verdict

HAPPY BELLIE (9) switched from a Sydney barn and turned in a strong run over 6f at Eagle Farm last time, ridden back before placing third. Drops back in trip but has raced well in Sydney over 5 ½f and the claim is handy. Rates well and fitter will finish hard. DA SNOOP DOG (4) resumed at the Gold Close this trip and just missed from the pace. Two back he was nudged out in a 64 at Randwick second-up and that form reads well. LOVECATS (16) resumes for a sharp stable with a 4lbs claim and an inside gate. Missed a nose in a 62 at Ipswich when last seen and has two trials under the belt. Has claims if presented forward. ELRONTE (14) has been racing below best, but fourth-up may show more.
