Verdict

NOBISHIRO (3) was safely held but did run well when fifth last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make it back into the winner's circle. OWSLA FLAG (13) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 6f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. GORDIAN KNOT (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fifth over 1 ?m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. KA NOA LADY (4) improved sharply last time out to score by a neck over 6f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Respect that.
