Verdict

DAIYU FARINA (4) has been kept fresh since finishing second over 6f at this track a month ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. STAR GUTS MAN (6) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 0.8 lengths over 6f at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SEI DANCING (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 9 lengths when fifth in a 6f contest at this track a month ago. Can figure. ZWEI KAMPF (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 6f at this track. Rough hope.
