      Verdict

      LA ESTRELLA is hard to oppose. He's won his last five starts here, including three over today's trip, and a six-timer looks a distinct possibility on today's favourable terms. Cobo Bay is the only realistic alternative as he's won over shorter trips here and is dropped in class, though he still has 6lb to find with the selection. Crystal Celebre is clear of the remainder on official ratings and looks the one most likely to chase the principals home.
