Verdict

ROSE LUCE (11) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 6f at this track in a tougher race. Breaks from a wide draw but he shouldn't be a maiden for long. VERT JARDIN (10) is a three-start maiden who was close to a win before a five months break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track. Has a tricky gate to overcome. Nicely placed and expected to go well. YOAKE (9) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 6f at this track five months ago which was the only run of that prep. Winning claims on best figures. PRESTO SCEPTER (3) is a nine-start maiden who finished third over 6f at this track last time out. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is all set to build on that latest effort.
