Genuine pace with Challans Ghana finding the front from his low draw. STEEL WILL (8) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 0.8 lengths away in third last time over 1500m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. SKY OJI (6) built on a nice third two starts back at Kawasaki with a win over 1500m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Aoi Shinoya scored on him last time and retains the mount. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. WIN YOUR SONG (5) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 16 lengths into tenth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Among the chances on best figures. RED VALDES (4) is a 10-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at Urawa over 2000m last time out. Likely improver with strong prospects.
