Verdict

DON GIUSEPPE (1) ran away for a big trial win then got back and wide on debut but found the line with purpose for 3rd behind Zanardi at Hastings over 4f. The step up in distance looks ideal here. AQUILA VELOCE (4) wide on the speed from the wide gate and fought bravely for 2nd to Zanardi on debut. Can give a sight here but not sure the extra trip suits her. PRINCESS GRAZI (5) has won both her trials, the latest at Matamata when charged home out wide under her own stream for a smart win. Strong claims here. CHANCELLOR BEEL (2) sat just off the leader and was strong to the line in his trial win at Avondale. Keep safe here. QUEEN JACQUI (6) has had two trials for a nose win at Avondale over 3f and a quiet 4th at Matamata over 4f. Place claims from handy draw.
