Verdict

The penalised Seneca Chief got the better of Glamorous Breeze over track and trip last week and the latter gets a change of headgear. Melody King went close in a lower grade at Hamilton recently but THE DALEY EXPRESS drops back down in class after placing at Windsor with Pettochside behind. Ron Harris’ charge looks the one to side with in the opener. Bella Notte attempts this minimum trip for the first time and has a shout on earlier placed efforts.
