Verdict

DIA NO ACE (3) was doing his best work late last start to get up for third over 7f at this track. Extra trip in his favour. Fitter and should be in the finish. SKY IS YOURS (4) finished fourth at this track and distance at his last appearance nine months ago. Sure to make his presence felt. MIKUNI SUNSHINE (10) is back after a break of seven months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1m at Tokyo Dirt. One of the leading chances. ROYAL TALE (14) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.8 lengths at this course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. Likely to be there at the finish again.
