|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace with Brickwork pushing forward along with Suzuka Double from an outside gate. AUFHEBEN (9) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto. Excels second-up. Credentials hard to knock. BELLAGIO BOND (17) has not appeared since he finished third over 1600m at this track on June 15. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Comes here with definite claims. CHANNEL TUNNEL (6) returned from a break of two months with a solid fourth last start at Kyoto over 1600m. The extra journey should play into his hands. Poses a serious threat. MI ESPERANZA (15) finished fifth over 1600m at Kyoto when resuming last start, beaten only 1.2 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
