Bellagio Gulf has good early speed and can negate the outside draw. BELLAGIO GULF (12) has really found form this campaign scoring four wins on end, including an effortless 7 lengths win over 1400m at this track last time. Can continue the winning run. MEISHO KOHOKU (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was handy all the way over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. SETTING SUN (3) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Scored a determined win at his final run last preparation at this track over 1400m. Definite top-three chance. KING SPICA (9) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Has a good record at this journey with two wins from 10 starts. Solid top-three hope.
