Verdict

OWSLA FLAG (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 6f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. LUISA (4) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 6f at this track. Among the leading chances. PICK AND ROLL (2) got well back over 6f at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 10 lengths away in 12th. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. BEN HUR (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 1m after being up on the pace until straightening. Likely improver who should be competitive.
