      Verdict

      Roskilde ran into a decent sort last time out in Tacitus but there was a lot to like about this performance and he is given a vote of confidence in a trappy heat. Rahaf has been particularly well touted on each of his runs and this well bred individual clearly has bags of ability but also the tendency to hang under pressure. He looks to be learning the game though and should go close again. Paul Cole sends up a well bred debutante in Burmese Princess. Any market support would be interesting but Cole has a poor strike rate with his two-year-olds this season.
