Expecting Harmony Hokuto to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. HARMONY HOKUTO (10) returns from a break of six-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1200m at this track. Has a strong fresh record including three wins. Looks sure to be in the finish. HO O VENUS (11) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1200m after being prominent at the corner. Placed to advantage and can take this out. WILD DUNK (3) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when finishing eighth here. Has his share of ability. TAKESHO LOUIS (8) finished in fourth at his last appearance over 1200m at this track on April 13. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
