Verdict

ROAD OF KING (4) resumes from a spell of five months. Could only manage to finish 11th at the latest run over 1 ?m at Niigata Dirt. Has ability and can get off the mark. BATISTUTA (5) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 7 ½f at Nagoya, scoring by a neck. Fitter for that last hitout and is among the winning hopes again. PHILIPPINE (12) resumes in a similar race to her last run five months ago when she scored by 4 lengths. One to consider. AZTLAN (11) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 7f at Mizusawa, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at Mizusawa at the previous outing. Nicely placed to figure in the finish.
