Verdict

KIBOWA HOSHO (2) ran below expectations last time out, finishing fifth starting at $4.80. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. COOL KAGURA (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1m at this track. Can build on that solid recent effort. WILL ALTAR (8) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was sixth over 1m at this track. Expect a better run this time. ELIGIBLE (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 6f at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.
