Verdict

BAKCHARA (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 6 ½f at this track after being in contention all the way. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. MISS CONCORD (9) performed above expectations last time over 1m at this track, getting the prize by 3 lengths. Should feature in the finish again. SONE SONJABGO (10) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but does have good gate speed. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ROYAL PLUS (7) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage ninth over 6f at this track. Well-placed and can sneak into the finish.
