Verdict

SELF ACE (6) is close to a win at the fourth run back from a spell, the latest effort a second over 1m at this track. Ryo Fujita has been in the money at the last three rides. Should be in the finish. PENNY FOUNTAIN (5) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when she was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth over 1m at this track. Won't find this as tough so she will prove hard to beat. WAKA CHIKO (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when ninth over 7f at this track. Will strip fitter and is expected to run well. JUAL ERIMO (9) ran a better race last start, finishing 6 lengths away in fourth over 1m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
