Verdict

BULLSEYE (5) improved last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. QUEEN MYRTLE (2) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track four-and-a-half months ago. All set to run well. YOU HINATA (8) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better, only beaten 1.1 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BOKUNO OKURIMONO (11) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
