Solid pace from Lord Sage and Two Punks fending off pressure from other on-pacers engaged. RISING SEIRA (2) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1400m at this track. Has a lower draw this time and gets his chance to break through. LORD SAGE (3) ran ninth at his latest appearance over 1300m at this track, finishing 10 lengths from the winner. Has a sound record here with two wins and two minor placings from nine starts. This looks an ideal assignment. TWO PUNKS (6) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1300m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. Group 3 placegetter SHIGERU IWAIZAKE (9) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
