Verdict

ECHO CHAMP (3) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing a long neck from the winner in third last time over 7f at this track. Expecting a bold showing. QUEEN OF DRAGON (7) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Scored over 6f at this track to launch the last campaign. Should be hard to stop. GEUMA PRECEDE (1) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from three outings this preparation, finishing 2.5 lengths away in third most recently over 7f at this track. One of the main contenders. TUHON FIGHTER (10) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form.
