Verdict
It could pay to stick with ASIAN WING in this. Takashi Kodama's charge bids for a hat-trick after beating Balmont Flyer, First Friday, Alpha And Omega and Baravaero here three weeks ago and is taken to confirm running despite the worse terms. Runner-up Balmont Flyer looks the biggest threat once again as neither Trans City nor Alubari have shown any improvement for their slide down the weights.
