Not much early pressure but Token Nana, Takao Smile and Bellagio Kenshiro can take up forward spots. BELIEVE AND RUN (6) is an eight-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing second at this track over 1200m last time out. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. TOKEN NANA (5) missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track when seventh. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. TAKAO SMILE (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1600m. Draws ideally and is among the main chances. BELLAGIO KENSHIRO (7) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth over 1700m at this track. One of the better hopes.
