Verdict

NOBISHIRO (9) has been in good form, scoring three back then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 6f at this track. Perfectly placed and a key runner. GOLD TALISMAN (10) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing second over 1m at this track. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. YUINO GULLICKSON (6) drifted back over 6f here last time before winding up late to finish sixth. Outdashed but got home well and the longer journey looks ideal. Warrants plenty of respect. GOLDEN OJA (12) did a great job to score by a neck over today's course and distance last time out to continue his good recent form. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling.
