Moderate tempo with Marino Theresia leading the way. BEL VIVANT (5) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1200m at Sapporo. Looks the one to beat. BOOGIEWOOGIEWOOGIE (6) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish 6 lengths away in fourth at this track. Leading player. LE JOUEUR (3) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 1200m at this track in a disappointing performance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MARINO THERESIA (12) was beaten 11 lengths into 11th in a 1200m contest at this track last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
