Verdict

SATONO ORIENTAL (6) was well fancied last start over 6f at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Will appreciate the longer journey and can play a major role. KING BULLSEYES (10) rolled forward last time out and boxed on to finish a neck from the winner in second at this track over 1 ?m. Top chance in a nice race for him. WAKE UP PEOPLE (4) ran a strong second over 7 ½f at this track two runs back then was below his best last time over 1 ?m when fifth, beaten 9 lengths. Coming back in trip suits so he shapes as one to consider. SCARLET CROSS (11) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 7 ½f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Ready to go one better.
