Verdict

RED REGALIA (10) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1 ?m after being prominent at the turn. Placed 2/2 so far and can get off the mark here. INDOMITABILITY (5) was on debut at Hanshin last start where he made a sustained run and finished second, beaten a neck, over 1 ¼m. Will benefit from that experience and looks hard to beat. MINAZUKI (9) was in contention on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1 ¼m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to take this out. WAKEFIELD (8) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 1 ?m at this track. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
