Verdict

SUPERCYCLE (9) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 4f at this track. Goes very well when fresh including four wins. Expected to continue the good form from last campaign this time around. CALADBOLG (6) hit the frame two starts ago here but ran below par last time when sixth over 4f at this track. Nicely placed to make amends. PATWON (10) used the low draw last time and bounced straight to the lead, turning in front before fading to finish fourth over 4 ½f at Kawasaki. Another bold showing is expected. DAIEI BILBERRY (11) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second. Ready to go one better.
