Verdict

FIELD CROWN (5) registered a strong win at Ohi two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in contention on the turn before finishing second over 6f at this track, beaten half a length. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. DERMA OPERA (2) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in fourth over 6f at this track. Big chance based on that effort. GRAND MILTON (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second over 6f at this track. Must be included among the main hopes. PECHE MELBA (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 6f. In the right race and should be about the mark.
