Verdict

YARUYAN (12) is yet to break through after 17 starts but he is tapping on the door now. Placed two back then last time out was fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1m at this track. Overdue and looks a great chance to open winning account. WORLD FOUNTAIN (7) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track before finishing second, beaten half a length. Nicely placed to take this out. CANTERBURY BIKE (10) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into ninth over 1m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. I AM IBUSHIGIN (9) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 1m at this track on December 1. One to consider.
