Verdict

KOTORINO UTAU UTA (5) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish third last start over 7f at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NOISETIER (6) finished fifth last time out over 7f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Leading player. DIR BRAND (1) fought on well for second last start over 7f at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Nice alley so must be a leading chance again. PRIME QUALITY (8) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 10 lengths, over 6 ½f at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
