Verdict

NEWBRIDGE (12) is a promising type who scored at her last run before a break four-and-a-half months ago over 7f at this track. Ryuji Tatsushiro sticks. Bold showing expected fresh. IMMERSIVE (13) produced a good effort last start over this journey at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Has a very good record here including two wins from three starts. Sure to run well again. NIJINO KANATANI (4) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance when first-up from a break last start. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. BURMESE RUBY (6) was an impressive winner last time over 7f at this track, leading throughout and putting 2 lengths on her rivals. Ryota Sugawara sticks. One of the better hopes.
