Verdict

INAZUMA BOY (1) wasn't too far off them in much tougher grade last time out and the four runs prior were good enough to feature in a race like this. Gets some weight relief with the claim and should be going very close. SZABO (3) resumes here but has a handy first-up record with two wins and a second from five starts. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and rates a top-three contender. KEYBOARD (2) boasts a win around this circuit and has placed three from four when fresh. Cannot be discounted.HOKUSAI (5) performed well last start when third at Ipswich over 4f on soft going. Appeals as a leading player.
