MINORICHAN (2) gets the nod after a sound first-up third at this track, where she boxed on for a minor placing despite being an outside chance in betting. Her previous run was a C3 win at this venue over the same trip, beating Tamamo Kompeito by a head, and the return of a winning rider adds to a solid profile. WIN OASIS (8) has strung together two seconds and brings the best recent ratings, with the latest coming after he led and was run down by Manik; the obvious reservation is that he is still winless after 14 starts. YUYU PRESENCE (1) has the deeper track-and-distance record, with two wins and seven placings from 21 attempts, and her fourth to Matilda keeps her in the main discussion. TAMAMO KOMPEITO (6) won by a long way two starts back and was again placed last time, though she was a beaten favourite and now has to convert that consistency into a sharper winning result.
