Verdict

LA ESTRELLA is back for more after almost a year on the sidelines. If the veteran is anywhere near his best, he should equal China Castle's record of 25 all-weather victories in this as he has the highest rating of these and is four from four at the track. The danger is probably Investissement, who has been keeping much better company lately. He was only beaten a short-head over 1m6f here in the summer in a Class 4 handicap. The three-year-old Love Tangle may prove the pick of the remainder ahead of Noguchi.
