Plenty of speed from Lord Voyager and Smart Cape. PENNA VELOCE (12) is going well without winning with nine minor placings from the past 11 starts. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 1900m at this track. Has the figures to suggest today might be his day. MATENRO BRAVE (8) finished fourth two runs back at Kokura Dirt then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths as public elect over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt when he came with a powerful finish. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. T O MARCONI (2) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Has started twice at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Placed to advantage and can take this out. LORD VOYAGER (7) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a nose over 1800m at this track. Fitter for that last hit-out and is worth including.
