Solid tempo with Sehr Schnell, Bennelong Point and Imao Tokimeku going hard, closely attended by Kitasan Doshin. SEHR SCHNELL (6) has been going well this prep, scoring last start over 1800m at this track to make it three wins from three runs this time in. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see him run well. BENNELONG POINT (1) returns from a spell of ten weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 16th at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m when first-up last time in work. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. KITASAN DOSHIN (3) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 1.5 lengths into second over 2200m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. IMAO TOKIMEKU (5) is having her second run back from a break after she failed to threaten first up over 1600m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Not to be discounted.
