The speedy End Stage should find the front with Mooth Challenge and Slime on his heels. END STAGE (6) returns from a spell of 18 months and did win first-up last time in work over 1200m at this track. Expected to go very well. SCREAM EAGLE (2) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 7 lengths into second over 1400m at Urawa when he was always up in the leading division. Best figures measure up. Strong chance. MOOTH CHALLENGE (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. GOLD BOARD (4) ran a better race last start, finishing 6 lengths away in fifth over 800m at Urawa. Better than recent efforts suggest.
