Verdict

OMOIDENO ATOSAKI (3) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 7f at this track. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. SELF ACE (6) was prominent from the outset when second over 1m at this track last time out. Another bold showing is expected. HOP STEP (10) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1m at this track. Has ability and is worth including. VEGA EMERALD (8) improved last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third over 1m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
