Verdict

FIELD CROWN (10) finished fifth over this distance, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming at his latest outing. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from three starts. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. MARUYO RIVIERA (2) finished out of the money two starts back then she was always well out of her ground and was beaten 8 lengths when eighth over 6f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. TIGER HEART (7) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when 12th, beaten 11 lengths, at this track over 1m. Likely improver with strong prospects. DONNA DONNA (9) has filled a minor placing at her last five outings, most recently when third over 6f at this track. Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
