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

Hot tempo expected from A Shin Leo and Kevala. A SHIN LEO (5) was a most impressive winner last time over 1500m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. KEVALA (9) boxed on to finish second last start over 1800m at this track, beaten one length as favourite. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. FASCINATE PI (7) is racing well, scoring two back at Sonoda before finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in third last time over 1800m at this track. F Komaki who has two wins when partnering stays on. Sure to be competitive. VALENCAY KAZUMA (2) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when second over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
