Verdict

Small field but good race. KAKIA (2) had been in great form before a disappointing run last time when he sat outside the leader and faded. According to the rider got the tongue over the bit and wouldn't settle. Would go close in this on the previous runs and worth another try. MISS DE LUNE (9) ran sixth fresh but the run was full of merit when out on a limb on the turn and making up late ground. Fitter and sets up to stalk the pace here. Very wary. RUNAWAY STATEMENT (3) is another who is better than last start. Comes through some hot form race and has the claim for Pang. Will be winding up late. GINGERSON (6) rarely wins but hard to leave out. Placed four of the last five and has a win and four minors from six tries over this course and distance. Include in everything.
