Solid tempo anticipated with Vogelwand leading the way. VOGELWAND (5) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 1400m at Urawa a month ago. Likely improver who should run well again. BELLUS BALLADE (9) has switched yards since finishing second three weeks ago over 1200m at this track. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. NOBO THE DREAM (7) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1200m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she should be in the finish again. GENES SENSE LUCE (10) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by 1.5 lengths over 1200m here last time. Can figure in the finish again.
