Not seeing a great deal of early speed. JETPACK VERDI (9) has hit a purple patch of late with two wins and a second from his past three outings and is racing with a lot of confidence. Winning rider Fenlon stays on board and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. BOOM BOOM BELLA (6) has won two of three over this course and distance and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. Cheery-ripe fit now and can make her presence felt. OUT OF ACES (4) is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from the inside alley and looks a top-three prospect on best figures. BETTER THAN WORDS (5) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on her day. In the mix. THEBARBEROFSEVILLE (3) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jetpack Verdi to win again.
