Verdict

CASTANA (8) recorded another strong performance last time when he came from this mark for third at Alexandra Park, adding to a string of to-four finishes Finds a nice race and could break through. BRAVEHEARTHIGHLANDER (5) has had two runs this campaign and showed good improvement last start when fourth at Alexandra Park. Fitter again so can take another step forward. HILLBILLY (1) found form with a last-start win over this distance at Alexandra Park. The favourable starting position could see him strike again. VERY MAJESTIC (4) has only once missed the top-two in her last five starts and has never been out of the top-three in five tries at this circuit and distance, winning twice. Must respect.
