Verdict

WINNING STRIDE (8) is a six-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Richard Lines yard. Resumes after filling a minor placing at his latest outing ten months ago at Kranji Turf. Placed last six runs before a break and has won fresh. Expected to go close. GOOD FIGHT (4) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second in Group 1 grade at Penang over 1 ¼m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Hard to beat. ELLIOT NESS (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 5f at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Second up record is sound. Fitter and sure to run well. PACIFIC VICTORY (5) resumed over 6f at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and he can measure up again.
