Verdict

VARIANT (10) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. MEGA RISING (8) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DESI MASTER (11) knuckled down strongly to get within half a length of the winner in second last start over 7f at this track. Among the main chances. NAJWAN (6) was beaten 5 lengths into tenth in a 7f contest at this track at his latest appearance. Capable of a lot more and is worth another chance.
