Verdict

TASTING (8) was well beaten in tougher company two back then was better placed last time and finished third over 7 ½f. Rates highly and can find winning form this time. PEPTIDE PLATA (2) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 7 ½f at this track, an improvement on her first-up sixth at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Nicely placed to take this out. LOVE ME AGAIN (5) ran a better race and finished fifth last time out over 7 ½f at this track. Fitter now and can give this a shake. WIN PRIME (1) turned in another moderate effort last start when 11th over 7 ½f at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest and gets a chance to feature.
