Verdict

DAIMYO (5) came from this mark to win at this circuit and distance last month and could be close to another success following back-to-back placings, coming from a tougher handicap to go under narrowly last week. Big chance. VOLTAIN (4) was well fancied last week but blew her chances by galloping out. Was racing consistently with a string of top-fur finishes prior. Player with manners. CROOKWELL EYES (6) cannot be left out after a string of solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth from a ¼f handicap. TUNBRIDGE (7) did a good job to come from this same handicap and finish third at this circuit and distance last time out.
