Verdict

ARMIN TESORO (9) got the job done when resuming last start at this track over this distance after he was in the firing line on the corner. Boasts excellent form at today's trip with four wins from five starts. Expected to be in the finish. HUTAN BEAT (12) finished fourth last start over 1m at this track after a string of second placings. Can bounce right back into the frame. VOICE OF ZEUS (5) was solidly backed last time out but failed to fire and finished eighth over 1 ¼m at this track. Well placed in this line-up and is among the better chances. AUTO BIANCHI (8) turned things around last start and got the job done by 8 lengths over 1 m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
