Verdict

WOJTEK (5) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Maher Ebrahim. Finished fifth on the main course here over 5f at the opening run last time in work. Hard to beat fresh up. VLAD (4) has not appeared since he finished well back over 6f at this track on February 12. Expect him to be ready to rumble. Follow the markets. NATIONWIDE (2) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 6f on the outer track here on April 17. Looks a strong top-4 prospect. KAASIB (1) returns from a layoff of six months. Scored over 6f at this track to launch the last campaign. Has a solid first-up record of 3 wins and 3 placings from 6 runs. Include in all combos.
