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

Looks to be plenty of pace with Meethaq and Sunrise Frid battling for the lead. MARGOT BUDDY (15) fought on for second last start over 1800m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SAN SEBA (16) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish third when resuming last start at this course and distance. Among the leading chances. COSMO BLACK (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. MEETHAQ (11) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of ten weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Has ability so don't underestimate.
