Verdict

PRINCESS SAKIKO (14) quickly improved beaten a nose at Kilmore over 7 ¼f after a slow start. Is sure to appreciate the step-up to the mile and should enjoy a soft run. Well placed to open her account. BELLABAMA (13) brings solid placing from Warrnambool and the longer journey will suit her as well. Has Meech aboard today and she should be right in it. KINGSFORD (7) resumed with a narrow defeat at Warrnambool over 7f and it was a tough effort. He's also good enough and under Yendall he'll be finishing hard from the outside gate. BOSS BOY (2) made good improvement at Mornington and didn't have the best of luck. Has John Allen aboard today and has each-way claims.
