Verdict

THE TRINE (2) sat handier and bounced straight back into the winners' list when scoring in a CL4 by 2.8L over 7f. He keeps improving and a 7lbs claimer offsets some of the weight rise. He's showing plenty of promise and can go on with the job. EASTCOAST MISS (3) is racing well. Followed a 60 win with a placed effort here in stronger than this. Has a low gate and 4lbs claim and presenting at peak fitness can manage the longer sprint. FIORENTE DE LEGEND (8) continues to frustrate connections with narrow defeats and comes back from a mile today off a 35-day freshen-up. Has a top rider aboard today and deserves another chance. WHIPPIN PICCADILLY (1) is also back from a mile seeking a hat-trick. Carries a lot more weight this grade the claim included, but she will get every chance positioning forward from an inside barrier.
