Verdict

YOU'RE TWO VAIN (12) caught the eye with a big finish first up at Sandown Lakeside over 5f. On a day that was tough to make ground, he flew home to grab third after settling last from a wide gate. Draws much better now and he was progressing nicely through the grades last time in. STOLI BOLLI (7) was a narrow winner fresh, trying hard again last time at Mornington when getting into a tricky spot. He can prove hard to hold out in this. BALASTIER (10) beat You're Two Vain at Sandown Lakeside fresh when sitting on speed. Might get a bit more pressure here but he's very quick and can go on with it. HEARCOMESTHESTAR (6) resumes. She typically goes very well fresh and did tackle a couple of better races last time in. She'll be hard to hold out. WINGSANDPROPELLERS (13) has won four in a row, three this campaign and simply has to be included given he keeps raising the bar.
