Verdict

MEGA MILLION (2) showed early speed from a good draw last time and battled on to finish fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over 7f at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. SIENA TITICACA (7) turned things around last start and scored by a head after being in contention on the turn over 7f at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. NITTO SUNNY (8) resumes in a similar race to her last run three-and-a-half months ago when fourth, beaten 6 lengths. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. PROMPT NOAH (3) comes here off a break of five months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 7f at this track. Among the better hopes.
