Verdict

FIESTA (7) hit the ground running to lead throughout in recent trail win over 11 others. Was caught late on debut in February. Stronger now. O'VALERIE (6) handy run on rail but was held up on the turn before weaving clear and going under a short margin when 1st-up on the synthetic last month. Drawn the other side of the track but better for that turn. AERIAL IMPACT (1) ran on late in his debut in June. Stalked the speed 3 wide and let go with a nice burst to win his most recent trial October 6th. Respect. BLUEPRINT SUPREME (10) two good trials this prep for a head win coming from last and a sound 2nd to the smart I Promise when not pushed out. Keep safe.
