A strong gallop is likely with Moueix and Austro taking up the running, closely attended by Idea Milagro and Friend Sweep. MOUEIX (7) was a gutsy winner last time over 1700m at this track, scoring by half a length to make it three wins in a row. Reunites with Akira Harita who has a win when partnering. Sure to play a big role. AUSTRO (1) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Urawa over 1500m, beaten a neck. Should be at his peak now. Kosei Akimoto who has four wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. WISE GOLD (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 21 starts. Tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1200m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. GRAND STEFANO (3) raced below his best last time when seventh. Nicely placed to bounce back.
