Verdict

MINNANO BUMMO (10) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 1m. Winning chance. MORGENSONNE (5) finished fifth last time out over 7 ½f at Kanazawa four weeks ago as $1.2 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. MEISHO TOWANI (2) finished seventh last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Better than that run suggests and has the ability to figure prominently. SIEGER OCEAN (9) missed the frame last start, finishing eighth at this track over 6f. Good enough on his day and can play a prominent role.
