Looking to Dubai Blues, Electric Boogie and Danon Ayers Rock as likely leaders in a keen contest early. DANON AYERS ROCK (13) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m in the G2 Hochi Hai (2000 Guineas Trial) at Nakayama only to fade late and finish seventh. Big class drop today and with the Magic Man aboard he can make amends. MELIOREM (6) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 2200m at Listed level at Hanshin at his last appearance on February 24, the only run of that campaign. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell. Sure to run well. DEE MY THE KID (7) was doing his best work late last start to get up for third over 2200m at Nakayama. Not far away in a Grade 3 prior to that. All set to run well. FABULOUS STAR (11) ran ninth at his latest appearance over 2000m at Nakayama in the Grade 2 Deep Impact, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. Worth plenty of thought in this easier contest.
