Suzuka Double and Mikki Jewelry possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. MIKKI JEWELRY (8) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance nine weeks ago. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Has the ability and should be right in the finish. BARREL TURN (4) is back after a break of nine weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at Hanshin. Has a great winning record course and distance. MINI TRANSAT (3) is a progressive four-year-old entire who resumes from a break of 12 weeks, his last appearance being a win over 1600m at this track at his only run of that campaign. Has never been out of the placings first up from four tries including three wins. Rates to be in the finish. KINGMAKER (14) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1600m at Chukyo, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Has been given a let-up of five weeks since that outing. Fitter again and must be included.
