Verdict

GOSSIP (6) has been a beaten favourite in most of her 6 starts, including both starts this season. She will be peaking third up, and dropping back from a mile to 6 ½f will suit her. One more chance. DANCING SHADOW (3) had to work a touch too hard early on when fading to finish a well-beaten fourth here just over 3 weeks ago. He is better than that, and it is encouraging to see Bruno Queiroz keep the faith. Each way. JACOBITE RISING (1) will be ready to race after having no less than 6 trials spread out over a couple of preps. He is in good hands, and the market will be the best guide. BELLE'S CHARM (8) was a beaten favourite at Trentham nearly 3 weeks ago, but deserves another chance in an easier field third up from a spell. Follow your money. I AM JAZZ (7) resumes from a spell for a new trainer. She has shown talent in the past, and can't be taken lightly here.
