Bright Flash should find the front with Central Governor and Kagemaru on his heels. BRIGHT FLASH (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1200m at this track. Will take advantage of the good draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CENTRAL GOVERNOR (11) sat on the pace when fresh from a spell last start but faded late and finished 2.5 lengths back in seventh over 1200m at Ohi. Change of rider to Norifumi Mikamoto who has an excellent strike rate when in the saddle, including four wins. Should be hard to stop. GOLDEN SWEEP (7) returned from a break of four months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Form this track is hard to knock with four wins from 10 starts. Should be involved in the finish. SPY ON HEART (10) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when ninth, beaten 5 lengths, at this track over 1200m. Nicely placed to make amends.
