|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo with the speedy Longing Nice leading the way. SAI AND KO (1) was impressive when resuming last start, sitting on the pace and sticking on well to finish third at this track. Has a very strong second-up record, including two wins, and will strip much fitter for this. Rates highly on best form and should go very well. TO SPARKLE (9) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2.5 lengths at this track. Boasts eight wins here. Takayuki Yano who has scored on him seven times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. LONGING NICE (6) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by 1.75 lengths over 1400m here last time out. Record at this journey is strong with three wins and a placing from five runs and is expected to run well. WORLD CONNECTOR (7) is back at the races for the first time since September 8. Scored over 1400m at this track to launch the last campaign. Makes plenty of appeal.
