Verdict

DANAEUN KINGDOM (7) had been working up to a win before breaking through last time out, lifting to score by a head over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. EXCELLENT MATTA (4) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third and beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. SHINING ROAD (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths starting at $7.60. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STUNNING FLATTER (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 0.7 lengths over 1 ¹/16m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
