Verdict

LOCUS MARIANNE (4) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 0.8 lengths at this track. Has three wins here. Has a high cruising speed. Expected to be in the finish. S K EAGLE (3) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten one length, over 6f at this track. Solid prospects. KITANO MARTINI (1) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 6f at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. KIWAMI IMON (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 6f. Well placed and should be about the mark.
