Verdict

FREEDOM (2) was far from disgraced after being prominent at the bend to finish 2.75 lengths away in third last start over 1m at this track. That followed a first-up win at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and can rediscover winning form. LUCKENBOOTH (10) led throughout last time over 6f at this track and scored a comfortable win. Has the early speed to cross from out wide and is right in this. JASMINE TWO (7) went fast early and kicked strongly to score over 6f at this track last time. Positive ride expected again and should give a good sight. ASIAN GOLD (6) showed good early speed over 6f at this track on debut last start and went on to salute comfortably. Can sneak into the finish again.
