Verdict

N K SAIBO (5) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish fifth over 1m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. RUBY DIESEL (3) settled in a rearwards position and never came on when resuming last start, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 7f here. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. BUBBLY SHOKO (8) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 7f at this circuit. Ready to go a couple better. TSUKAINO TORI (1) drew wide last time and was safely held when seventh over this course and distance. Draws the inside marble and should improve sharply.
