Verdict

HAKSAN DARK HORSE (10) impressed last time with a 3 length win at this track over this journey. Key chance in form and should go close again. GWANAKSAN RICKEY (5) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and stalked the lead before going on to record a 0.8 lengths win over 6f at this track. Is a winner at this circuit. Among the leading chances. CRAZY STAR (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing 11th and beaten 16 lengths starting at $3.10. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LALA K (11) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 6f at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role.
