Azimut, Baishu and Shark Ryusei to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. EDEL RITTER (5) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by a neck over 1230m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from three starts at this circuit. Should go well again. BAISHU (12) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Winning rider Sakito Yamamoto sticks. Well placed and should be in the finish. AZIMUT (7) was in contention on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1230m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. A SHIN REGARDS (10) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 800m at Himeji when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role.
