Verdict

NOBISHIRO (8) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track over 1m, beaten 1.1 lengths. Top chance. BEN HUR (12) was last at the races when he scored over 7f at this track on February 17. Looks a winning chance. WORLD FOUNTAIN (13) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at this track the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. HAKAISHIN (5) held on well to finish second last time out over 1m at this track after leading for much of the way. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
