Verdict

REAL MUHAMMAD (9) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then scored by half a length as favourite last time out over 1m at this track. Norifumi Mikamoto scored on him last time and retains the mount. Nicely placed to take this out. KAZU PIREAS (6) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1m at this track when beaten half a length. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. COCONUT GARDEN (1) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish second last start over 1m at this track, beaten half a length. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. KITANO DAYJOB (3) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
