Verdict

EXMEDI NO KISEKI (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 54 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1 ?m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish in this suitable event. COPANO HOWARD (5) was disappointing over 7 ½f at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. G T PHARAOH (10) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 3 lengths at today's track and trip when first-up from a layoff last time out. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. CELEB UMAZAMMAI (8) is back after a break of ten weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 7 ½f at this track. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
