Verdict

SAKAI WAMPAKU O (12) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 1m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. MIDDLEMAN (11) is a seven-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 1m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. MAESTOSO GAL (7) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the turn at this track, finishing seventh starting at $2.90. Likely improver. CYNTHIA (1) settled well back but hit the line well to finish sixth over 1m here last time. In a suitable race and shouldn't be far away.
