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

They should roll along at a decent clip. REALIZE SIRIUS (9) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1600m at Tokyo ten weeks ago and has not raced since. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. FESTIVAL HILL (4) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1600m at Hanshin nine weeks ago and has not raced since. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. SANONO GREATER (7) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1600m at Tokyo nine weeks ago and has not appeared since. Likely improver with bright prospects again. HILDEGRIM (5) won on debut last time out four weeks ago over 1600m at this track, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Deserves serious consideration.
