Amelia's Belief should spear straight to the front of the small field. WAR WARRIOR (4) battled on fairly when resuming at Ascot a fortnight ago and will find this much easier second up. He has a solid track record which is an advantage and with a run under his belt, he is the one to beat in this. EURASIA (6) is fresh up and he normally comes to hand quickly. He is beautifully placed at this level and gets in nicely at the weights with only 55 kilos on his back. He can rip off a race like this at some decent each-way value. MAGIC OF ZEUS (3) only had 1 start this year in February before being put aside again for a break. He has a decent draw and if he is ready, he can figure in the finish. Let the markets be your guide. AMELIA'S BELIEF (2) is a local gelding who has won 2 of his 4 starts on his home track and his best form is over this journey. He lands the pole position and will be ready to run a race fresh up. Can win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eurasia each-way.
