Verdict

HILLTOP was clear of the rest when second at Newcastle last time and still looks on a favourable mark. Bella Bisbee showed the immediate benefit of a switch to the Scott Dixon yard with an easy C&D success last Monday and will be a danger under a 5 lb penalty if showing up in the same form. The thriving Electric Avenue completes the shortlist.
