Verdict

DOCTOR CHRIS (5) showed good speed over 1 ?m at this track and led throughout to score. Should be ridden forward again and is a leading contender. MATONGNYEONG (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish half a length away in second over 1 ?m at this track. Will take advantage of the good draw. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. CARIBBEAN BAY (4) is a distance specialist who was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1 ?m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. GASOK JEIL (11) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over this journey at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
