Verdict

MEISHO TOKIIRO (4) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 6f at this track. Will be hard to hold out again. MEISHO TOWANI (11) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1 ¼m at this track, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. MELO PEARL (5) drifted back over 6f here last time before winding up late to finish seventh, beaten 7 lengths. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. LUCKY (7) is a eight-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 7 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 6f at this track. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
