Keen battle for the lead with Vita Levis, New Orleans and Ailsa Craig in advance of Wide Decoration and Namura Momo. NEW ORLEANS (7) improved last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1800m at Chukyo Dirt after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. WIDE DECORATION (8) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. VITA LEVIS (6) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fourth over 1800m at this track. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. ONE WAY TO HELL (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
