Verdict

TOIRO (3) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner and scored two back at this track before placing last time over 1m at this track. Races well here and expected to go close. RIKO HUGHES (6) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish third when resuming last start at this course and distance. Expected to go well again. MIENO WILD (8) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when he was handy all the way over 7f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HUBSCH (4) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start over 1m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Capable of another bold effort.
