Despite the wide draw Mana Flash should cross and set a genuine tempo. HELLO MY LOVELY (13) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Expected to feature on best form. MANA FLASH (11) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on July 29 over 1000m when he scored by 2 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win again. POISON BOSS (4) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with success over 1000m at this track a month ago, getting home by a neck. Likely to be there at the finish again. BAMBOLINA (2) strode forward early from her wide draw when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track only to fade late and finish fourth. Can figure in the finish.
