Verdict

REINA DE FUEGO (4) impressive debut win beating stablemate Coronada, drawn well and extra distance looks right up her alley. Top Pick. CORONADA (3) stuck on well when 2nd to stablemate Reina De Fuego, should be thereabouts at the finish. Include. DENNY'S DELIGHT (5) encouraging debut when finishing fourth behind Reina De Fuego. Will strip much fitter with that experience. Could topple top pick. SUPER ACCORD (1) chased Coronada home for second on debut. Should get a position behind the leaders and look to strike. Chance here. DJANGO (2) has yet to be seen publicly, but the Pitman team is starting to hit their straps, so keep him safe if there is any market support.
