Verdict

FIVE M (12) fought on well to finish second last start over 4 ½f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths when resuming as favourite. In a suitable race and can play a major role. LOIN (1) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win over 4 ½f at this track five weeks ago, getting home by one length. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she deserves plenty of thought. SEKKACHI DRAGON (3) finished seventh at this track and distance at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Can make his presence felt. NARINO BISCUITS (10) showed good early dash and led for much of the way over this course and distance last time, eventually fading to finish fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Can sneak into the finish.
