Verdict

PERFECT TYCOON (1) got too far out of his ground as the favourite at Ascot Park 5 weeks ago and rattled home too late, finishing fourth. He steps back up to a mile and can break through for an overdue maiden win here. EMPRESS SUIKO (5) has been trying to win a race for some time, and was third as the favourite at Wingatui just over 3 weeks ago. She will be at her peak fitness fifth up from a spell, and is an each-way chance again. JAIL BIRD (4) has been in the money in all of her 3 starts to date. She can secure a soft run early on from the pole position, and is another promising type with winning claims. QUINTO (3) ran on late, fresh up at Wingatui over 1400m, and he will relish the extra furlong here. Stick with him on an each-way basis. DREAM ROMANCE (6) turned around a pair of modest efforts to start her career, and was a game runner-up at Gore nearly 4 weeks ago on a heavy track. She is bred to improve again over more ground, and she can go one better in this.
