      Verdict

      HAVANA ROCKET has undergone wind surgery since last in action at Ffos Las in September. He has an absence to overcome but is rated 83 and may not have to run up to that mark to land this. Solar Park was beaten only a length when fourth over track and trip on his recent debut and is preferred to Dream Chick, beaten a long way when third here on her introduction, while Mustadun looks nothing special on breeding though is still preferred to fellow newcomer Parker's Pride.
