Verdict

MAPLE PEER (8) was close to breaking through last time, beaten just a neck over 7f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can win if at his best. NOBLESSE SIEN (10) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1m at this track when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Will strip fitter and can atone. ASPHODELOS (11) will appreciate the longer journey after finishing a solid fourth when resuming last start over 6f at this track. Usually performs well with that run under her belt. Among the leading chances. AD LIBITUM (1) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 6f at this track at his last appearance on January 26. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Should be prominent from the low draw. Should give backers a sight.
