|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of speed from Amp It Up and Zephyr Tesoro. AMP IT UP (4) gave a sight and just missed last time at this journey and expected to go close again fresh. ZEPHYR TESORO (6) was well supported and raced on speed on debut when beaten just a length. Capable of taking this out. KISSHO DHARANI (7) has been runner-up both tries so far and bursting to win. Key chance expected to feature. GAKUEN TENGOKU (2) started big odds at debut but found the line strongly fly to finish fourth. Has upside and expected to be closer this time. Has claims.
