Strong tempo assured from Cresco Yusha and Z Silvia leading the charge. PREDESTINARE (11) was well beaten in better company two back then tackled an easier race last time when a head winner over 1400m at Himeji. In winning form now and should go well again. CRESCO YUSHA (4) scored by 6 lengths over this distance at Himeji last time out. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in five starts, including three wins and two placings. Likely to feature. Z SILVIA (9) is resuming from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is looking to add to a sequence of three wins, the most recent over 1400m at this track. Has a strong record at this course, scoring six times from nine starts. One of the main contenders. SHADOW STRIKE (8) won at Himeji two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing eighth over 1500m at Himeji. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
