Genuine tempo with the speedy Maple Kenji leading the way. MAPLE KENJI (5) scored a dominant victory at Sonoda over 1400m at his latest appearance back in October, the only time he faced the starter in that campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Expected to be in the finish. HO O SIX (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MITTELRHEIN (7) did little at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh at Sonoda the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PIENA PERRY (3) next best.
