Verdict

AF ASYAF (9) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 3.5 lengths over 1m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. HAKA DU SOLEIL (1) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when second over 1m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. AB TAHAN (15) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Recorded back-to-back wins with a gutsy win by a head over 1 ?m at this track last time out. Races well here and is among the chances. NIBRAAS (13) fought on gamely last time over 1 ?m at this track, finishing fourth at $4.80. He has good early speed, so he should take up a forward position, and he can take this out.
