Verdict

THE WILD CHIEF (2) has the strongest recent profile, having won by three lengths at this track two starts back before finishing fourth to Leisbobo, beaten just over two lengths. His 7f record is deep, he has two wins and five places from twelve starts at this track and distance, and the J Ong stable is a further positive. KHAO MANEE (7) beat him home in that same latest race when third as a well-supported favourite, beaten just under two lengths, so that line ties the two key chances closely together. BANKER'S PAIR NINE (6) brings winning form, having scored from Iron Ruler at this track last start, and his record with G Farhan gives that performance substance rather than making it look a one-off. NAJWAN (10) disappointed as favourite last week when only second last, but the margin was three and a half lengths, he gets weight relief, and his strong record with Oscar Chavez keeps him in the winning mix if he sharpens up quickly.

2	Won strongly at this track two starts back, beating Famous Name by three lengths as favourite, then held his form when fourth to Leisbobo and beaten just over two lengths. He has two wins and five places from twelve starts at this track and distance, and his past 12-month record is solid for this grade. With a small claim and strong recent ratings, he brings the most reliable winning case. 1st Pick 2 The Wild Chief Jockey: I Fikri Trainer: J Ong J: I Fikri T: J Ong	112	-	-	-	34%

7	Produced his best recent run when third at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths by Leisbobo after being sent out a well-supported favourite. He had been plain over 5 ¾f the run before, but 7f is his more established zone with four wins and five placings from 24 attempts. He beat The Wild Chief home last time and looks a serious winning threat again. 2nd Pick 7 Khao Manee Jockey: T See Trainer: Tan Eng Tee Jerome J: T See T: Tan Eng Tee Jerome	101	-	-	-	25%

6	Returns from a five-week freshening after winning at this track, beating Iron Ruler by just under a length despite starting at generous odds. That followed a fair fourth over 1m behind Time To Harvest, and his record with G Farhan is a clear asset with two wins and one place from nine pairings. One win and one place from five at this track and distance makes him a strong danger again. 3rd Pick 6 Banker's Pair Nine Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: Lim Boon Thong J: Non Runner T: Lim Boon Thong	143	-	-	-	17%	Scratched
