Sugar Kun, Cosmo Buddleja and Win Maximum to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. REDENTOR (9) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Recorded back to back wins with a 3 length success over 2000m at Nakayama last time. Going well and looks tough to beat again. SUGAR KUN (7) made it two wins in succession last time out when he scored by 2 lengths over 2200m at Chukyo. Winning rider Yutaka Take retains the mount. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. TROVATORE (17) finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 2000m at Nakayama when first up from a spell as $2.8 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Leading hope. WIN MAXIMUM (10) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break 12 weeks ago over 2400m at this track. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Masami Matsuoka who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Best figures stack up.
