Plenty of pace from Copa Katsu, J L Bulker and Oro Verdi matching motors ahead of Seven Colors. HAPPY MEEK (1) found plenty to salute by 0.8 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Yet to miss the placings here at this trip, including four wins. Expected to go very well. ORO VERDI (4) went forward last start over 920m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 1.75 lengths. Will again be prominent from the outset. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. STEEL ACTOR (7) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 1.5 lengths over 920m at this track. Winning rider Soichi Kato retains the mount. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. J L BULKER (8) turned things around last start and got the job done by 2.5 lengths over 920m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again.
