Verdict

POND SPRING (8) is racing consistently with a string of top-four finishes. Good effort but found one better over 6f at this track last time, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Deserves another win and this looks his chance. TIGER HEART (9) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance but kicked off the campaign with a placing here three back so is capable of better. SIAMTORA DAIKO (2) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 6f at this track. Another bold showing is expected. MA KAN EMI O (1) gets the inside draw and is capable of a better result.
