Verdict

LIME FLAVOR (9) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 3 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start over 6f at this track. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and five minor placings from eight starts. Expected to be in the finish. GRAND JOUR (1) finished sixth at this course and distance at her last appearance three months ago. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. OMMAGA TORU (14) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 11th over 6f here. Placed to advantage and can run a much better race. PLATINUM ROD (10) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this venue, beaten 7 lengths into 11th. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
