Verdict

GEUDAEMANUI BLUE (7) was far from disgraced when second last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1m at this track, beaten one length. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. WONDERFUL JONES (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4.5 lengths away in third over 1 ?m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SKY JILJU (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1m at this track. Has further improvement to come and is sure to be about the mark. SORI TAEPUNG (3) turned in a fine effort to win by one length at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. No reason he cannot salute again.
