Verdict

RAPID CHEVAL (1) hails from a handy family (half to G1 winner Kovalica) and should find this much easier than Group and Listed efforts she faced when last in work. Boasts a victory over this distance range and is sure to be hitting the line with gusto. ASHILLA (14) has placed nine of 13 here on her home circuit and has placed three of five when first-up. A strong showing at a price would not surprise. MANHATTAN'S (3) strips fitter second-up from the spell and gets some weight off with the 3lbs claim. In the mix. INTRECCIATO (5) will be rock-hard fit for this and may earn some minor money. KAMARIYA (2) rounds out the selections from the Heathcote barn.
