Verdict

ITOITATION (2) looked good at his only appearance four months ago over 7f at this track, finishing third. Has a low draw and expected to go well again. COMBAT STATE (4) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 7f at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. KENSHI YUKI (7) was sixth last time out over 6f at Funabashi two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give backers a great sight. SWINDLE (9) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fifth over 7f at this track. One to watch for late in the piece.
