Strong early tempo with Pantanal, Zinfin Doll and Sekitei Juo matching motors ahead of M Lierre and Fubuki. SEKITEI JUO (5) ran well below his best last time over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth at $1.60. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. PANTANAL (12) recorded an all-the-way win last time out by 1.5 lengths over today's journey at this track. Will be hard to run down again. ANOTHER MOON (2) is back at the races for the first time since January 16. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at this track. One to consider. ZINFIN DOLL (8) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish eighth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
