Verdict

Looks a lovely race for ASHINA (6) who finds a very winnable race here. Two runs back have been good in fourth, not beaten far in a tougher race at Geelong second up over 1 ¹/16m. Ready to fire now up in trip and should really be taking care of these. SOBINE (5) is yet to break through in three runs. Just fair behind Ashina at Geelong but the fresh run was encouraging and he should improve. CHURCHILLENA (7) didn't do a lot on debut two weeks ago, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1m at Bairnsdale. Should improve a fair bit off that against a few exposed ones. ELEGANT FORCE (8) was below her best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 1 ?m at Hamilton. Drawn low and can figure in the money.
