Verdict

JUN PIRKA (7) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. MAX HEART (1) went forward last start over 6f at this track and held on well for second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. EGALITE ARIEL (5) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at her latest appearance over 6f at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. EGG SCRAMBLED (2) resumes from a spell of four months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 7 ½f at this track. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
