Verdict

GORGEOUS DRAGON (9) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last nine months ago when he scored over 7f at this track. Sure to prove tough to stop. PORTE D'ITALIE (11) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 8 lengths, over 7f at this track. Likely to measure up. MIKINOKARAKURIBAKO (8) showed little early speed last start then came with a powerful run to finish third over 6f at this track. Solid top-three hope. P M DOREMI (13) was popular with punters last time out but disappointed when sixth over 1m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. One of the better hopes.
