Genuine pace with Imhotep crossing from the outside gate in search of the lead. IMHOTEP (15) is a winner of three from five and is unbeaten in two first-up runs. The one to beat. VANARGAND (13) resumed over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt last time out and showed good speed to lead throughout, scoring by a neck. Strong performer when second up with a win and one minor placings from three runs. Generally goes well here. Bold showing expected. DECORATION (14) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Reunites with Keita Tosaki which is a proven winning combination. Long time since a win but consistent record while fresh. Expected to run well. DUBAI BLUES (9) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance on strong second-up record.
