Verdict

FOREVER VICTORIOUS (11) made it three minor placings in a row when he stormed home to just miss in a very busy finish over this course and distance last start. Meets a similar field here and won't need to improve all that much to break the maiden status. BOUTIQUE BELLE (10) stoked up late but just ran out of time when runner-up over 1 m at this track last time out. New to this distance but she gives every indication she will run it out. SAISOKU (1) registered his fourth minor placing in the last five starts when beaten in a thriller here at this distance recently. Big chance again with the blinkers going back on. HE'SNOTALLTHERE (4) went back in a change of pattern and didn't get involved here last time at this trip. Better when ridden with more intent - can improve sharply. MYSTACHEENO (5) dead-heated with Forever Victorious when they clashed here 18 days ago. Right in the mix again.
