Verdict
Riflessione finished last over 5f last week but had gone close over today's trip before that and will be winning soon, but it could be JOE LE TAXI's turn today. He posted his best effort of the year so far when runner-up at Southwell last time, but has won twice on the Polytrack off higher marks in the past and looks set to strike once again. Belinsky is another to consider as he went close in a higher grade over track and trip last month and Amazing Win may reward each-way support.
