Verdict

MADA YARUKAI (9) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Likely to be there at the finish again. RHIPSALIS (3) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 7 ½f at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Anticipating another big run. KENSHI YUKI (2) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 7 ½f at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. REMEMBER WELL (10) was fourth over 7 ½f at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest and in the mix.
