Verdict

ASPHODELOS (7) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 6f at this track five weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again. MIKKI SUBARU (4) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by a neck at today's track and trip last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. WING WIND (11) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. No reason he cannot salute again. P M DOREMI (5) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start over 7f at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Capable of another strong performance.
