Verdict

ROCK A HULA DANCER (10) brings the most reliable recent profile, with placings at all four runs in the past 12 months and a nose defeat two starts back before another third behind Stay Lucky. The reservation is obvious: he has placed seven times from nine tries at Nagoya over 7 ½f without winning, so he is solid rather than bombproof. VIVIEN ONE (1) is the main danger after charging into second behind Treasure Beat, and the class drop into C8 helps her case, though her overall maiden record keeps the price in check. SUN LUNA (11) has produced two sound C1 efforts, including a third beaten just over a length, and appeals as the sharper value chance if she converts that closing work. SMART ERABLE (6) was a big-odds second last start and has a recent edge over Rock A Hula Dancer, but still needs to prove that was not simply a peak effort.
