Verdict

MUSCULATION (1) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 6f at this track after being in contention all the way. Strong prospects. RIKO NICK (4) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second. Worth noting Fuma Ono goes aboard. Anticipating a big run again. WAR CAT (8) went forward last start over 6f at this track and held on well for third. Should go forward from the awkward gate. In the mix. CINNAMON DAISY (10) missed the frame last start over 5f at this track when fifth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
