Verdict

FLASH TIME (7) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 7f, beaten a nose. Big chance to score. PRINCIPAL ACT (4) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Naoto Mizukami. Finished fourth at Sonoda over 1 ?m at the opening run last time in work. Rates highly so expect him to be prominent. SEINOSUKE (9) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths as favourite over 7 ½f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. SAVE THE QUEEN (1) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by a nose over 7f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
