Verdict

IMANI (9) draws on the back row again but is racing well from there. Backs up after a solid fifth from wider on Thursday and was beaten just a neck as runner-up at this circuit and distance prior. Big chance. BRACKEN WARRIOR (3) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third at this circuit and distance in his first outing for the new yard. Draws well and could strike. LUVN OSMAN (4) did some work as a beaten favourite last week but had filled a minor placing at three of the previous four appearances so is worth another chance. BUDDY PERFECT (6) must be respected after placing in the last four outings, the latest a second from this barrier.
