      Verdict

      BRUKI is backed to see off Trinkila and Highland Homestead. Marco Botti's charge has shown glimpses of ability over similar trips in the past and having had experience in maidens on artificial surfaces, he could be let in lightly off a mark of 60. Trinkila has had twelve chances so far. She appeared unlucky at Kempton a few runs ago though was well held subsequently at Lingfield. Highland Homestead won a seller for Rod Millman and now makes a run under a penalty. Greek Theatre showed nothing on a return from absence. Opera De Luna stays further than this and cannot be totally ruled out as Derek Shaw had a winner earlier in the week. A moderate event in which Bruki looks the best.
