WE STILL BELIEVE bumped into a rejuvenated rival over C&D 10 days ago but that was a promising start for his new yard and he looks ready to cash in on his lowly mark. Daaris should have more to offer as a 4-y-o, while Steel Queen will find this easier than the races she's been contesting in Ireland.
