Verdict

Most of these are struggling to break through. AKA DAKA (1) drew off the track fresh, went way too far back and was wide throughout and just never came on. Fitter, drawn much better and switches to the synthetic. Give another chance. SECRET HELL (2) stormed home here last time to finish third behind Whitson in a good form race. Looks hard to hold out again. DOC'S NIPPER (5) was in the same race and finished runner-up. No worse off at the weights and is close to a win. Looks a leading chance again. SHAMATEUR (3) has been getting home hard and is fitter for two runs back. Had the ability and will wind up strongly. BARK (4) is another who is better than recent form suggests and gets a chance to find form.
