Verdict

BLACK PEPE (8) is yet to break through after four career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 6 ½f at this track following a minor placing at this track over 6f the run prior. This looks his chance to break through. POWER BEST (5) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 7f at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WADALBI (7) ran above expectations and got up for third when unwanted in betting at his latest appearance at this track over 6 ½f. Backmarker who keeps coming. One to consider. PNS WORK (2) finished tenth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
