Expecting Te Stesso to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. JUNE KNUCKLE (1) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last time running fifth at this track. The engagement of Hiroki Yamashita is noteworthy. Should be further improved and rates a leading player. HIGH GOOD ACE (6) fitter for recent racing and looks close to a win after finishing second over 1400m at this track last time. Major player. TE STESSO (10) improved sharply with success over 1400m at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. SECRET GEAR (7) was in the money two starts back here but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth at this track over 1400m. Well placed and can bounce back.
