Verdict

BLABBER MOUTH (6) should be peaking now after finishing second over this track and trip time at the third run of the campaign. Milnes has registered three minor placings when on board. Blinkers go on and she should prove hard to stop. SHAMASTAR (4) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when finishing second over the mile here. Likely to push forward and give a bold sight. ROCK SHOT (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third here after being prominent at the bend. Strips rock-hard fit now and is among the main chances. VELOCE GIRL (9) was in a rearward position on the turn last time out before finishing fifth over the mile here. The sharp rise in trip could unlock her. KELORIK (2) continues to leave himself with too much to do. Further looks better for him and Holder's booking is a positive.
