Pace genuine with Cosmo Fliegen and Yamanin Endyma pressing hard closely followed by Danon Gloire and Maxi. HEARTS CONCERTO (10) grade 1 placegetter. Finished 11th over 2100m at Riyadh at his most recent appearance on February 24. Rates highly on best form and makes plenty of appeal. MAXI (9) was an impressive winner last time over 2400m at Hanshin, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2 lengths. Sure to measure up again. COSMO FLIEGEN (2) sat on the pace last time and fought on well when a neck away in second over 2000m at Nakayama. Winning chance. NIGHT IN LONDON (7) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 2600m at Hanshin, beaten 6 lengths into 12th. Strips fitter now and no surprise to see him bounce right back to form.
