Shillong and Lord Four Aces should lead from out-wide. YAMANIN AL RIHLA (9) returns from a spell of nine weeks after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 1200m at Kyoto. Tougher assignment this time but he is right in this. LORD FOUR ACES (15) is having his first run since April 13. Goes well when fresh with two wins and two placings from five starts. Should be prominent. ABU QIR BAY (14) has been kept fresh since she resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1200m at Group 3 level at Kyoto. Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within her grasp. MEISHO SORAFUNE (6) is back after a break of five months. Looking to emulate his win at Kyoto to kick off the last campaign. Sure to make his presence felt.
