Verdict

SMART LOVE (5) ran a sound 4th in a G3 7f race 4 starts back in December. Three trails have here ready, the latest an impressive win when she stretched out well late. Top show. ROMANOFF (4) was a bit disappointing first-up when had now finish after a handy run on the outer. Took on the LR NZB Kiwi last season. Give another chance. SINHAMAN (2) honest galloper who raced well over further last season. Good record this trip and two trial 4ths have him ready to go a big race. BASEL WARRIOR (3) was only beaten 3L in an LR 7f race here 3 starts back and won his other start this track and trip. Didn't seem to like the synthetic track fresh-up last time. Better placed here. ANTON (6) was a big improver on the synthetic track over the winter. Placed just once in 7 starts on turf. Place best.
