Verdict

SCOTCH KILT (5) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WARBUCKS (8) was disappointing over 1m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BETTINA (12) is a 29-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the last run a commendable second at this track over 1m. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. SABUNO LUANA (6) again failed to feature last start, finishing eighth and beaten 8 lengths over 1m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Deserves respect on best figures.
