Verdict

DRAGON BUSTER (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 2 lengths into second over 1 ?m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. NEPOTISM BABY (13) returned from a break of three months with a solid third last start at this track over 1m. The extra journey should play into her hands. Poses a genuine threat. MEISHO KAJIBO (3) has been hard to follow, last time out finishing 15th over 1 ?m at this track. Has ability and can atone. EDELWEISS (2) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1 ?m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
