Many of these have the speed to be prominent but is likely Satono Favor can take up the running at a strong tempo. Grade 3 winner SATONO FAVOR (4) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 7 lengths over 1300m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and he looks hard to stop again. MORNING PASS (3) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 5 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from three starts. Leading player again. NAMIB (5) improved last time out to score by one length over 1300m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MISHIRO WAY (8) was a winner over 1300m at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by half a length. Has a strong association with Shinji Hatanaka who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Among the top-three hopes.
