Verdict

ALASKA FLAVOR (11) produced a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 7f. Great chance to score. MAX Q (12) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish third. Expected to go well again. KYOEI SE LEVE (3) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims. WOW WOW WOW (2) is a four-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid fourth at this track over 1m after being in contention on the bend. Ideally placed to shed the maiden tag.
