Verdict

RAON SAPPHIRE (2) steps up in trip after scoring last time by 0.8 lengths over 6 ½f at this track on May 3. Nice weight drop so another bold showing is expected. MIGHTY CHOICE (6) broke his maiden four starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten half a length into third over 1m at this track. Among the leading chances again. SLING STAR (10) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by one length over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Likely improver with strong prospects. TAPDINE (1) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1m contest at this track last time out by a head. Major contender.
