Verdict

CYCLONE REBEL (3) is showing good promise having come from the back row for a debut win at this circuit and distance and performing well again last start when third from this barrier. Has upside and can win this. OPA'S GIRL (2) has made a good start to her career, kicking off with back-to-back placings before digging deep to score here last time. Up in trip but draws closer to the pegs and could go on with it. TIGHT LINES (6) looks to have come back in good order having landed a resuming win from this barrier at this circuit and distance. Could go through his grades now. YANKEE FLYBYE (5) won from this barrier when resuming and drew wider when a solid fourth since. Contender.
