Ras Hammel, Speed Rich and Win Maximum can set the pace. SPEED RICH (6) last appeared when fourth over 2400m at Tokyo 12 weeks ago. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from four tries. Worth plenty of thought. WIN MAXIUMUM (12) is back from a thirteen-month spell. Three of the last four runs have been in Group races. Big chance at this level if forward enough. VALENTINE GIRL (2) was given time to settle from an outside draw when resuming last time then wound up strongly in the straight for an eye-catching second over 2600m at Hakodate. Should run on into the finish again. LIFE SAVING (9) is back from a break of 11 weeks after stringing together two minor placings prior to spelling. Has a solid first-up record. Among the main hopes on best figures.
