Viv Air should lead and dictate terms. DEFINITIVO (6) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back with success as favourite over 2000m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Expected to go close again. ISANA (7) finished fifth last time out over 1600m at Ohi two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Sure to run well. COURECHOUSE (11) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from six outings this prep, finishing second most recently over 2000m at this track. Among the leading chances. VIV AIR (3) improved last start to finish third over 2000m at Urawa. Another forward showing is anticipated.
