Verdict

WEST HEAD (4) was close-up in all three runs last campaign and resumed in good style after two trials. Ready to win. STRASSMAN (3) cops a raw draw but comes through two genuine races into this. Go close with the blinkers off. HABERFIELD (8) is an improving filly who tackles a suitable trip second up. Handily drawn and should hold her own. SWAG (13) was runner-up to a subsequent winner last start and snags a soft alley. Can aim up. RHEGION (2) has been close up in both starts over shorter trips. Senior rider and a soft draw say yes.
