Genuine tempo from Kazu Presto leading Tagano Escort. WAYWARD ACT (2) returns after a break of three-and-a-half months. Excels when fresh with three wins from as many starts including a win over 1600m at this track at the start of last prep. Sure to go well. HABIRE (11) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1600m at Listed level at this track. Kosei Miura who has scored on him twice retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. SALVATORE (13) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1600m at Listed level at this track. Rates highly on best figures - can do much better. BATUQUE (6) hasn't been far away lately, beaten a head at his most recent outing when second over 1600m in stakes class at this track. Yuya Mizuguchi who has three wins when partnering stays on. Not to be discounted.
